Bard guides

[Furro]

It'd be nice if one or more of team Bard members could write up or collaborate on some guides for Bards.

A post on each of the following could be starting points:

• Bard DPS
• Bard Song Lineup for Raids

Here are some links as starting points.  Migrating the details into something here that could be maintained and contributed to by our team of Bards would be helpful.

Proper Care and Feeding of Heroic Bards

Check out the other 2 topics under Bard Melodies and Bard Discs.
I am told that by keeping certain AA's on cooldown and Combat skills like Thousand Blades, you can put out some decent DPS. Something I have to work on.
I use Fierce Eye, Bladed Song, Boastful Bellow, Cacophony and QuickTime on cooldown.
A Thousand Blades, Song of Stone, Dance of Blades, Flurry of Notes and Frenzied Kicks on a burn because of the long cooldown times. Trying to save as many of the above abilities as possible for the burn as well.
I use Funeral Dirge only when called for in raids or at the end for extra dps to burn down.
