As far as supports go I usually tend to look at them in two ways; AP-oriented with high damage, or Tank with CC and buffs that can disrupt the enemy. Bard falls out of this classification, being a roamer makes him a conundrum for me because he has different strengths then I'm used to.

When pondering about it I'd build him with a, , , ,. This would give a third objective along side collecting chimes and setting up strategic health shrines. Quickly pushing up a lane by promoting a minion, placing down a portal and emptying out his stored meeps to roam out again.

But as such I'd never build on him, preferring  or  for consistent speed. Between, and  you'd get 430 movement speed all the time. When you include other speed bonuses like, Point runner and the talisman active, on top of mystical journey and chimes you have more movement speed then the cap allows for. Getting Mobi would be pointless and actually counter productive when using meeps to push lanes.
