But ingame a class can't function on one healing tree, and lore-wise you can't justify them being a tank or dps.
You could either "fit" it into the lore, and make it solely a healer - but that is at odds with the gameplay essentials, the class needs multiple specs - at least one of them a dps.
You could meet the gameplay requirements and give it multiple talent trees - but then from a lore standpoint it's ridiculous, music just doesn't work in the form of damage dealing in WoW and bards are iconically lightly armored, you can twist them into some plate wearing tank, but then have you really got a bard anymore?
As I say - the only way they could get a bard to work in WoW is by making it a bad one. It either wouldn't be true to WoW lore or it wouldn't be true to the iconic Bard archetype, at which point it's better not to have it at all.
