What would you improve on his comment?

I'm not trying to put you on the spot.

I'm actually considering playing a Bard and I want to know how to play one good.

I imagine regen, mana, and haste are at least 3 out of the 5 songs you should constantly twist.

What other 2 are crucial to most groups? Some sort of AC song?

Do you have to twist your charm song? Probably. I imagine you do. Okay, 5 there.

Then AOE mez when you need to CC?

yeah just keep the mana pumping, haste group if no other haste available, and pull / CC / slow

you can group level a bard with nothing but a lute and be more effective than 99% of the melee bards out there
