Are any melee bards good right now with the u41 pass?

My Swashbuckler is fine. The Epic Defensive Fighting feat really helps!
Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.
The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

No. U41 didn't change much in the way of bard's melee prowess.
Melee bards are just as "meh" now as they were before U41. The song buffs are just more convenient to sustain (unless you're in a full raid party of 12).
If you want to be highly effective at melee DPS with some buffs, roll a wolf or tempest. They're better.

Pure.
Not a big multiclass fan although I do have a few multiclass toons.

Warchanter with vistani is alright, but you're clearly using vistani to prop up an outdated main class tree. On the plus side you give yourself and actual melee DPS an unique +6% damage which is worthwhile.
