Was planning on playing Bard. I was attracted to the Support/DPS role. I'm on the fence with the possible changes.

If I do stick with Bard, to answer Lord Maitreya's question: I care not for any parse report. I'll focus on playing my class well and doing everything I can to support my party. If I'm in a party that cannot appreciate that and relies on a parser to tell them who is "pulling their weight" then we are not a good fit and I'll find others to party with.
