I got the game about 3 weeks before HW came out so I played as the old school bard for a short time but of course in roulettes that are under the level for WM. Personally I really like WM. Its pretty easy to maximize damage with it on, you may have to prioritize things that normally synced up very well but you should now be focusing on emp arrow, sidewinder, renewing dots with iron jaw and using your instants like blood rage and straigher shot when they are up while chucking out lots of heavy shots. Your own combat awareness helps you figure out when to cast a heavy shot then move out of the way of an attack and get off an instant like blood rage or straighter shot. We also now have some really nice burst for adds and things that need to be blown up to get back to the boss. You also need to figure out your own latency because you can start moving right before the end of the cast bar and still get off an attack.
