Cool Bard on raids

Few questions, grouping on a bard, AEing, soloing, fear kiting, I have it down for the most part. Recently started raiding on a bard on raids though, probably still have a lot to learn, so any tips would be great.

-When running with a healer group normally I do 3 songs, Jonthan's Inspiration, level 54 cantana and level 32 chorus. Also do resists (aes) or shield of song (unresistable AEs) as needed.

-With Melee heavy groups I use 57 rondo for atk, or 54 celerity for haste + cantana for regen + ervaj for overhaste + (sometimes) chant of battle for stats. I assume epic haste proc makes 54 celerity mostly unnessesary?

-In the case of healer groups on mana intensive fights I either do cantana + chorus + chorus, then back to cantana (solo bard in group) or if the other bard is doing cantana, I chain chorus as quick as I can. In these fights I don't bother with melee because a) I'm a bard and b) making sure they get mana ticks is more important than landing my dazzling, while weak, melee.

In the necro group I let cantana run. And do whatever I feel like while they do feeds. I suppose I could throw in chorus here too.

Any feedback on barding on raids would be appreciated. While I'm new to bard raiding I'm enjoying it more than any class I've played, and want to make sure I'm getting the most mileage out of my song choices.
