Questions for any BARD mains out there

[BabyBlue]

I'm currently leveling Bard and trying to figure out what abilities to choose as well as what skill to pair it with. Anyone who mains bard I'd love to know your general used treasure mods/abilities/skill combos. I mostly play solo and I know Bard is group oriented but I am curious to see the solo capabilities.

Also a few questions:
Does Song of Resurgence heal pets at all? AH or Necro?
Does the damage/healing of songs scale well at level 70? Healing seems very light and Damage seems ok.
Do you think a song oriented bard is viable for solo play?
Do you only use Lute or Horns or both?
I see mention of Poetry Appreciation being required but can't find where that comes in at, what does Poetry Appreciation give bards?

I'd love to pump out songs while a secondary skill deals out additional damage. The automation of pets seems fun but last I tried pets they were kind of sluggish and weak, looking forward to experimenting with them more.

I just want the ability to be a stationary dps fountain, while being able to aid/assist other players I come by during solo play.
