Nothing will be immediately impactful outside of some instrumnets (drums) if you're just dot kiting.
If you want to prep for later / more group utility, I'd honestly say just get tanking items. Bards can tank group content just fine with some decent gear. They have the best aggro and mobs come into camp pre slowed with aggro. Given how fast mobs die in that lvl range, bard slow works fine as a shaman slow would probably land at ~85% and only stay on the mob for like 1 min before mob dies. You dont even need to attack the mob. Can just hang out a lute with regen on, slow, and DS or something.
(For all the REEEE bards don't mitigate damage as well as pure tanks; true in pure dmg mitigation, but having a mob pre slowed @ 100% and dps able to hit it right away without aggro breaking is better for grouping. A slowed (even only 20%) mob hitting a bard is still dishing out far less dps than a non slowed mob on a war.)
There isn't really a decent lute to be bought at that price. Walrus drums are good, instrument modifier / price is an exponential increase. Barbed dragonscale boots and shoulders will last you till 60 and raid geared. Quest the ice forged shackles.
