Ranger/Bard/Caster

Hey all

EDIT: Title should be Ranger/Rogue/Caster Dunno why it says Bard


So I've been playing with an idea, it stems from roleplaying but its going to be an Arcane Archer Trapmonkey, and I was wondering if taking a few levels in Wizard/Bard/Sorc would be worth the effort, pretty much the spread would be 11rgr/1rog/7caster.
I tend to play skills based, so I like to be a support character that can solo, able to trapmonkey, heal, splash damage and debuff. I don't mind using wands. Pretty much it comes down to what would be more useful Bard with high UMD or Wiz/Sorc with healing wands?

I prefer ranged but am also keeping weapon finesse for when the fighting comes to my doorstep or we need another fighter in the group.

Thanks for the help, and I brought the fire extinguisher for the flamers
