Yes, being a good bard is going to mean constant clicking and depending on how long you play, this could definitely mean sore hands/wrists. You seem to have everything pretty spot on, so it really comes down to whether or not that is something you're willing to put up with. Personally I find my bard to be the most interesting class I've ever played in EQ, and couldn't be happier with my decision to play one. The other thing that sucks is that as a bard a lot of people might think you're antisocial in groups when really you're just too busy to partake in the group conversation. If you're a chatty person who is going to get bored in groups if you're not shooting the shit with other group members, a bard might not be the class for you.
If you do decide to go with a bard please don't be that bard that kites to the mid-50s and then subjects groups to their clueless, subpar playing abilities. There are enough of those on the server already. Also, don't be lazy. A bard that plays one song and just auto attacks is about as useful as a rogue who doesn't backstab.
Let us know what you decide. Like I said, I really couldn't be happier with my bard, but it definitely isn't everyone's cup of tea.
