I realize this is a bit dated, but I have pretty extensive experience playing a bard. Bards make great pullers and their musical skills give them the ability to reduce downtimes to minimal amounts. That said, Bards greatest asset is their speed, which is something they rarely use while grouped in an exp group. They're not great tanks, but can do a little of everything. You'll need a tank, so a warrior would work well. Combine that with a pair of healing mercs and you should be gold into the 60s. In the 60s mobs get very hard hitting and merc healers tend to double up and burn through their mana extremely fast, rendering the first half of fights easy, but struggle to get heals off in the last half.
A warrior would work well with a bard, along with a pair of healer mercs. (IMHO).
