Do any bards melee at the higher levels? I know they don't get double attack or kick, but with all the haste they can get without a chanter, you'd think they could do some pretty decent melee damage, being able to swing so often.

Bard's do melee in high level groups, but unfortunately you're wrong about doing a lot of melee damage. Bard melee damage is terrible, but it still tends to be worth doing as a lot of key grouping songs are not instrument based, eg. haste, slow. Also the weapon you will be using until you get your epic, Breath of Harmony, has a clicky song effect that makes up for the lack of an instrument mod on the regen song.
