Hey there, I got a bard for a bot to go w/ my team. He's currently 87, marching towards 88. I run all the songs for the group that improve, haste, damage, procs, ac ect. Looking at my dps it's lower than my paladin. Is there any certain songs I should twist in to help w/ the bards dps or just continue to mainly use him as a buff bot while meleeing. Any tips or tricks would be helpful

Proper care and feeding of heroic bards is the right answer. To clear your specific query: the bard's personal dps will continue lower than the Paladin's until all the double/tripleattack AA are done. Don't sweat it.
