Pauses are totally legal. If they weren't, it wouldn't built into the system in an obvious /pause feature.

Regardless, any macro with a pause will only hamper you in the long-run, because every time you miss a note you're stuck not singing for the duration of the pause. Furthermore, when you're in a group that's doing it right, you'll need to be constantly adjusting your twist on the fly to, for example, adjust the number of targets you're mesmerizing.

Here's what you need to know to be a bard:

/stopsong
/cast #

Make it for #'s 1-8 (your spell gems, #1 is the top one), and every song you play is just one button-press.

That actually rings true to me as well, I remember way back then the only problem with pause's(and the reason why bard's didn't use em) was what you said, and it would cause the bard to die more often than not. It wasn't a big deal early in the level's cause you didn't seem to miss note's that much then. But later on when the mob's hit much harder and can do more stuff, it was bad mojo.
