Bard having to much movement speed buffs?

I tried Bard out for about 1 day and noticed that it had some movement speed buffs and wanted to see how high it stacks. Turns out, Epic Melody, toggle sprint, and using Endless Jest and Flourish to maintain pep buff gives me a movement speed of 155%.
Keeping pep up between Endless Jest and Flourish isn't to bad, and the stamina drain will make you stop sprinting from time to time, but the Epic Melody gives stamina regen so your not out of sprint for long. Also, not sure if this is intended, but the stamina regen continues while in sprint, making it take a lot longer for your stamina to run out while on the run.
The starter mount is 135% movement speed and can dash to make it 170% movement speed for 5 seconds. Considering that this method last for a lot longer than 5 seconds, I don't use my mount when I play Bard now (Only been playing for less than a week, not sure how fast a lot of other mounts get).

    Bite your tongue, sir! There is no such thing as a Bard with too many movement speed buffs.

    Seriously though, everything but epic melody has to be continually refreshed, and top speed can't be maintained for more than a few seconds. Additionally, the faster mounts still outpace a Bard on his best day. We're already getting the business end of the nerf bat in the next patch; leave us alone :P
