Rogue is going to be more in demand generally. It's the king of dps and you can stack as much of that as you want to a raid. With that being said, it's damn tough to level up a Rogue unless you are really good at getting into groups quickly. Once in a group, playing a Rogue is easy and highly useful. They are by far the worst soloers, I would even go so far to say they cannot solo without twink gear after a certain level.

Bards can solo, brings a lot of utility to a group. Bards are useful on raids. I see a lot more Bards in my travels than Rogues, so you won't be as unique. I will never personally play a Bard because it just seems like way too much work to play one.

I personally played a Rogue back in the day. I never found it boring just hitting backstab. I looked forward to seeing the number flash across the screen each time I backstabbed. Playing a Rogue allowed me more time to chat with the group, relax, could leave at anytime since I wasn't a tank, healer, or cc. The biggest challenge for a Rogue will be finding a group each time you log in. Advice to you, make lots of friends, get really good at touching base with prior group members on a regular basis! Most every Rogue I've grouped with are some of the best socializers in the game, they have to be if they want to level up.

That is some damn good advice right there. If we were on facebook i'd like this or something.
