For casual leveling, bards actually make great tanks, and have lots of utility. Personally, if I was rolling a static 4 man. I'd prolly do
1. Bard (tank and utility)
2. Monk or rogue
3. Shaman
4. Enchanter (charm dps and CC)
Some might argue cleric instead of shaman. But imo, shaman has more utility. And in small groups it's all about classes that can do more than one thing.
In this group, bard and chanter can mez and slow and charm adds.
Bard and monk both could tank well
Shaman and chanter can both root CC and slow if the other is busy with something.
Bard, monk, and chanter, all make excellent pullers, indoors or out.
