If you dont plan on working with another bard alot, dont take the dancing skills, take tambours for xtra def for your party, moving march, horror chord so you can solo when needed, all the passive buffs on top, mana wind and cycle are essential. Take noise(noise will save your ass ALOT). Temptation is kind of a preference thing, I use it alot during trade runs to turn the thieves on eachother. Booming chord will get you into trouble alot cause you end up hitting mobs you didnt want to, etc so if you take it be careful, I wouldnt say its ultimately necessary.
I only have bard, so i cant say much for cleric, but I would max out the bless, single and party heals, and the res. Leave the combat options alone and use bard for dmg if you need it.
Light armor will not interfere with any of your bard abilities.
Please note that while maintaining movement march you cannot cast heal spells as they require a cleric rod to be equipped.
The only really useful bard skill for a cleric use movement march, as you pretty much always need your cleric wand out.
