Quad group, would a bard work?

[MikeXG]

So some buddies and I are making a static four man. We have an Enchanter, Mage, and Necro. The last spot is for me and I am torn between Shaman and Bard. I think we will be mostly hunting in outdoor zones or safe solid camps in dungeons. Shaman is cool because of the heals and the 4th pet (i know it sucks but still 4 pets is cool) and dots which go well with this type of group. However I thought a bard buffing the 3 pets and twisting in some damage could be good too, plus I could pull, and help with downtime. I think if I went bard I would mostly use instruments and just twist while sitting next to pets/mobs and the casters on the back line.

So my questions is, thoughts on a bard in this group? or would I be shooting us in the foot without the heals?
