Breath of Harmony awesome again in Velious?
Every bard drops Breath of Harmony once they get their epic. However, in Velious once the epic instrument modifier works in the offhand, will we see bards be using this as their primary unless they have very high end Tunare, Sleeper's Tomb, or Tunare drops when grouping? Or, is there some other inexpensive weapon that is just as awesome and outweighs the benefit of another instant regen group song?
Obviously, I realize raiding bards will be using drums of the beast in their primary.

Drums of Beast for Occlusion. Denon's Horn of War for Tank groups (dat DS song). Lyran's Lute for DPS groups / AE fights (dat HP regen). Ervaj's Flute for questing (dat faction song).
Basically, bards will want to throw on the primary instrument of the song they're doing and secondary the epic. I think you get sufficient procs secondarying the epic to maintain it on the group. Cycling in BoH for a free clicky will be nice though.

So unless you need MR, you get more of the other resists out of epic+psalm for whatever resist you need. So probably not as much drums as you think (assuming a person has their epic).
Looking through, until you upgrade to end-game 60% haste daggers (Koi`Doken or Tunare), you'll likely use BoH. The other possibilities might be Orb of Tishan for tash (which does not stack like it classically should), Willsapper (good luck getting that over any other melee class), or the resist sword from PD.

I'll likely remain DWing in group content, only swapping in a lute in significant downtimes or for lulls when initially splitting camps.

Almost 100% sure on that. I also checked faction song and alliance neck and they didn't stack using the same method. Also what evilkorn said. Epic doesn't become offhand usable for instrument purposes until 10-11 months down the line. Gonna be a ways away.

However, I'm not positive on the flute actually changing faction. I did not notice much difference from the sky one when I tested, but perhaps, I was not at the right levels to test well.

Test the way I describe. Use faction song and con a Coldain guard. Drop your faction 1 message at a time with the gnomes until you drop 1 tier of faction, then equip the flute and sing the song again on the guard and see if that bumps you back up a tier. It should get modified.
