I 100% agree. However in a dungeon in today's green/teal like say upper guk, there aren't unlimited mobs to pull. The zones are overcrowded and there usually isn't enough mobs around to take advantage of the time savings a bard would provide. Now if there were enough mobs around that you could take advantage then yes, a bard is probably the most efficient class to have in that group due to how much better he makes everyone / restores hp and mana etc. Just right now a bard for the most part is like anyone else in the group.

That being said i would never kick a bard from group cause they are just so sweet.
