Whats wrong with Bard twisting?

Sometimes it seems that the server ticks are off by a few seconds from when you start your song (IE, sometimes I can keep all 4 songs going without any dropping...sometimes they drop regularly). However you should be able to do 3 songs without any issues whatsoever.

You are just having some serious lag issues. If you hit F11 i believe you'll get the ping monitor up in the upper left hand corner. Typically speaking if it's under 100ms you should be fine to twist 4 songs. Anything higher than that and I could definitely see you having issues.

With that said, a lot of songs had an extra tick removed incorrectly last patch. I believe the next patch those songs will have the tick added back, correct?

Thats what I see. I can sometimes keep 4 songs going but after maybe 3-4 cycles they start dropping off for a second or two. I can USUALLY keep 3 songs going, I think last night I was just having really bad lag, I Tested it today and 3 songs goes no problem.

By my count, non aoe dmg songs are lasting 12-13 seconds, and they should be lasting 16 seconds... so there is confirmation that indeed songs are missing an extra tick that will be put back next patch? (That would make 4 twisting easier, and 5 difficult but possible for some cases, which is what I seem to recall on Live)

Not all songs are missing an extra tick. The targeted mezzes had a tick taken away, and possibly the charms as well. I think snare and fear may have been changed, and if so I'm not sure if the change was correct or not. Damage over time songs were also shortened but that's classic (they were never 4 ticks).
