one thing to mention though, bards do not need max AA and top of the line gear to hit speed cap. a bard can do that sometime post 50 with good gear.
A bard was able to do so from the start (well, once they capped speed) at level 50 with Drums of the March. Now days, I'd expect you could cap out in the 40's using the snazzy drums from later expansions.
