Adjust Mage's Ballad slightly so that Burst Shot, Bloodletter, Quick Nook, and Rain of Death transform into musical attacks since Mage's Ballad implies some kind of magical stance. This is the true-to-its-name bard phase where you're mostly using music to attack. Give each phase something that each side of the bard playerbase can really sink their teeth into, a massive archery finisher for Wanderer's Minuet and a massive musical finisher for Mage's Ballad
You see there’s the issue, It’s a dps first and a support second. The majority of people who play dps don’t want to see a lot of effort for minimal dps... unfortunately your 50/50 idea would do that. Once upon a time bard was an archer that sung song, now it’s not... I don’t know what it is but the songs are basically just... there.
