Bard Melee weapon help

I want to try melee on my Bard with a shield. What's the best weapon to pick? Have not spent much time reading up on weapon types. Any feed back would be awesome.

The sword attacks a little faster and hits a little less hard
The mace attacks a little slower and hits harder.
Those are really the main differences aside from a couple different debuffs they can apply with their finishers
Get off the stag = Stagger to disarm
Mezmerising dance = stagger to stun
I think mace gets stagger as an option so it kinda combo with these skills so might be the play but im not to sure since i havant played bard
with the stagger proc, you can aoe stagger enemies in front of you - and with the combo from mesmerizing dance, you be able to stun them for 3 seconds (while still dealing damage).
Also, make sure you run the cheerful melody for the healing procs on weapon combos
My standard rotation for leveling is:
-Alacrity
-Use the Book to pull until the mob is close
-Get Off the Stage (if it pushes back, I take a few more shots with the Book)
-Switch to Mace and Shield to finish the job
So far, this strategy is working well for me.
