Monks solo capabilities get weaker with levels since you will need heals for higher level mobs. Together with a shaman you will totally rock though.
Bards are just gods. If you have the impression that bard soloing means just swarming that's totally wrong. My bard never did that. There are so many other options. You can charm kill (like a chanter), fear kite (like an SK but with much better dots) or even aggro kite. If you have a partner with root you can root rott, better than any other class. The higher level bard dots are pretty insane when played with a good instrument.
The only problem with bards is that you need to be very very active. It can wear you out, and this is a serious warning. You need those /stopsong /cast x macros and maybe some more. Swapping instruments and melee weapons can be a pain, but at later levels you probably won't melee much anymore.
