I have a bard and they have some hell to put up with.
The lags after singing the songs is horendous when you are in a battle or trying to flee. The song of 'Cold be sleep' has like a five second lag on it. So if a bard misses his sleep he is sh*t out of luck if you are quick in a fight and can keep your wits about you.
Bards are not fighters, there fighting skills are very weak so they must rely on their songs to keep them alive. If you were a bard and getting your ass handed to you what would you do?
You would flee, sleep, flee, sleep util you pulled it off to save your ass.
Bards have tons of killer songs at their disposal when they are at higher ranks, but most really do not work well unless their opponent is asleep. Therefore you have the tactic for a bit.
Get away, get back and sleep his ass.
So if you dont like it, roll up a bard and try it out before you flame them.
