Update: Cleaned the build up (limit free actions to 1/turn, minor action commands to 1/turn), and added damage calculations.

102 attacks in two rounds, for a total of 6833 damage.

This damage can be split up on any number of targets (as opposed to many single target novas) - so you can actually deal that damage (if the encounter has enough creatures in the 150sq area you can cover...

Some words on playability:
The build is a good single class bard and fully operational outside his daily nova. Most builds are spent after the nova (no dailies/enc eft), but the bard still has 3daily, 3 encounter and 5 utility power uses at his dispsosal.

One can get the feats necessary for the nova during one level up, so no unnecessary feats and items before one can use them. The bard has 5 feats left for better defenses/bardic abilites. Or, you could use some of those feats to improve damage even more - every 1 extra points of damage would increase total damage by 95.625.

E.g., if you use plaguing bloodhunt + necrotic reagent, you would deal 24 damage per hit vs. bloodied -> assuming the target(s) are bloodied half of the time, add 12 damage per hit, or 1147.5 total. Shouldn't be too hard to get more than 10000 damage.
