I'm a bit confused, you're stating that you couldn't do anything at all, yet you used Swiftcast on Stone ? I'm not sure what was the idea behind it, a Bard running slow will still be able to hit you, lol. You could and should have Swiftcast Cure II or whatever is your strongest potency healing (I never played WHM so can't really tell but hopefully you get my point). Bard isn't "OP" like you claim it is, I'm far from being what a lot would call "good" at PvP so I guess it's just my two cents, but it's not extremely hard to figure out either.
