Really going out of your way to get a response on this one aren't ya Chazzy. You know my stance on a ton of these, so the one thing I'll remark to before I let other people chime in with their opinions would be that in a camp such as King in Seb or even upcoming Velious content, you won't be landing a mezz regardless without some sort of debuff on the target.
I also did not say to "forget" these stats. End game bard pieces such as Sky, Planar, BCG have str/sta/dex and even some have Cha on them. I solely told you that it was wiser to go HP > Sta > Resists > AC versus allocating your gear solely towards dex/cha. Levels outweigh any marginal effect Dex would give you and your job is to stay alive; hence why you have charm, mez, snare, stuns, fear; because you are utility and your job is to stay alive.
