Agreed, if anything it puts Bards smack dab in the middle. But at the
levels at which bind becomes available to all those people below us on your
list, I would argue some of them could beat us in simple melee, hell they
have sure beaten me.

In terms of melee vs. casting ability, I'd say:

Strong melee
------------
Warrior
Monk
Paladin, shadowknight
Ranger


Bard



Cleric
Shaman
Druid


Wizard, necro, mage, enchanter
--------------
Strong casting

Where you draw the lines in the above chart to "categorize"
classes is completely arbitrary.
