The bottleneck is Trak, who is engaged within 5 minutes of spawn for C and FFA, and within 30 for R. Trak is highly contested because he is the gate-keeper for VP (the last piece of the key is one of his teeth).

On top of that, Trak generally drops 2 items (excluding teeth and spells) out of a loot table of 14 items (again excluding teeth and spells), a larger loot table than that of the scales dragons. Trak has a ~13% chance to drop guts (assuming 2 items). Since his loot table is larger than the scales dragons and he's much more hotly contested, Trak is the massive c-block for bard epics. Not to downplay the scales, but the only reason the bard epic is easier than Mage/Necro/SK is because Trak is a 3-day spawn compared to CT/Inny's 7-days.
Guts aren't included in his "2 drop table." He always drops two items, then a 15ish% chance to drop guts on top of that.
