Bard is by far one of the most fun classes in the game. Soloing is a blast, especially for solo leveling. That is if you like twisting songs and running in circles with 25 mobs. You can also charm kite, it's slower leveling but doable.
Do you like dungeon crawling? There's a few zones in which a bard is capable of this but summoning mobs make it a bit trickier. Most likely you'll be grouping up in those zones.
As for raiding your utility is by far the largest asset you bring. Clerics want you in their group, rogues want you in their group and your raid leader will want you kiting adds/Bard DA's and ability to bind sight and gather raid knowledge to relay for engages.
In an ideal world you level up 4 bards, one perma VP parked, one for ToV/CoV factioned content, One for fear portal and the final bard for VS engages. That's the sweatiest of dreams.
