A little low? Here's a rundown of melee dps in the game, from top to bottom, assuming equal gear:

Rogue (DW+DA+Backstab)
Monk (DW+DA+FK)
Warrior/Ranger (DW+DA+Kick)
SK/Paladin (with 2-hander)
Bard
Casters

Take any weapon combination you want, even with the epic thrown in the mix, an equal level rogue will outdps you with rusty daggers.

Mage and necro lvl 29 pets, when they start DW+DA outdps you.

Bard melee is an illusion. It's something to do when you're not CC'ing (priority #1) or while you're twisting songs that benefit the group as a whole (priority #2)

This goes back to the good bard vs bad bard question. A good bard's dps comes from charm & dots. Significantly higher than melee dps charts would indicate.
