Wasn't sure what people considered useful or if using instruments is seen as lazy Barding.

Imo depends on the situation, if you are somewhat the only means to heal in your group, switch to lute in down time and bust that hymn.. However dps wise, you want to be twisting things like haste songs with maybe hymn of resto thrown in or if casters are present a mana regen song... But also dual wielding at the same time as it will provide some damage too.. Whereas an instrument just provides a tiny boost to certain songs and iirc haste songs are singing anyway.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a pro bard, nor do I claim to be one, this could be wrong info!
