I feel Bard has so much power on his abilities that he doesn't really need any more on his stats. He has free AA poke, which also provides crowd control, so he doesn't need spectacular AD, attack speed or even range, and for a ranged caster support his mana regen and health are actually above average.

If there's anything I don't particularly feel good about, it's his build: aside from, which are going to work perfectly with his roaming, there's no item that looks like it would really shine on him. None of the support items work too well on him, particularly since they're based around laning and he's a roamer, and even build path questions like "should I build tankiness or utility on this guy?" aren't entirely clear. I figure he'd do well as a support with lots of raw utility and a bit of tankiness on the side, but there isn't a perfect build or set of items that immediately comes to mind.
