I think (IMHO) DEX is the most important attribute for a Bard. DEX is the primary attribute for Locks & Traps, Music and Pickpocket. DEX is also one of the controlling attributes for all the weapon skills. So Reflexion is the most important expert skill for a Bard I would say.
As for the other, I'm not too sure. INT is the other controlling attribute for Locks & Traps and Music. But Bards need VIT so they don't pass out playing their instruments and Iron Skin reduces damage, of course.
I usually go for SPD, and therefore Snake Speed, so they can use their instruments first in combat (to cast Haste, Freeze All, Heal All etc). And, of course, it adds more attacks/swings per round.
(Edit: Forgot to mention that DEX also helps the number of attacks and the chances of hitting in combat of course)
