I can adapt to whatever group I am in and do what is needed to make the quest go smoother, sometimes that is using DPS, sometimes curspewing, stat damaging, etc...sometimes that is CC casting, sometimes healing, I have done all of those things many times.

The Bard that is only casting focused HAS to cast crowd control spells no matter how resistant a mob is, that is the beauty of this build I don't have to I can simply kill or reduce it's strength through TWF. I would take this Bard over a spell focus CC build any day of the week and twice on Sunday, those are the real gimped Bard builds.
When it is easy and there are many many options you can do stuff sure, but when the quest is in the balance this build doesn't deliver. It doesn't heal as well as other bards where healing is required, doesn't add dps like a warchanter, doesn't do its own dps like others, doesn't cc as well, etc - in a word gimped. Really when the chips are down call -dial a real bard-..
