If you can keep your item usage on the barding skills rather than taming ones, I'd say you're going to do fine. The reason I suggest that is so you always have control of pets even if you accidentally forget to swap a jewel out or aren't equiped after a res. My bard uses pets as her frontline defence and attack, so I like to know that they're under control 100%.
This is the template I ended up with:
110 Tame
110 Lore
100 Vet
110 Music (boost to 120 with the +10 music arms)
120 Disco
100 Provo (Carrying +20 jewels as she doesn't provo unless in heavy spawn, so they're a backup thing for me
)
70 Magery (she equips a +15 spellbook if necessary)
This template was MUCH easier before the advent of powerscrolls!
I don't find any real problems with this template, other than fitting it all in and having to live with the need for items. If you had the gold to buy the music tali, that might help you out, Otherwise I find my template hasn't been expensive to set up and run. I run on a basic high resist or LRC suit most of the time, or I'll use a high luck suit at other times.
Looking at the skills you've got scrolled, there's another option if you wanted to try it. I've built a mage/necro/weaver tamer recently and she seems quite a lot of fun so far:
110 Tame
110 Lore
110 Vet
105 Necro
100 SS
85 Magery
50 Weaving
50 Med
I tend to use weaving more for gift of life/renewal and summons if I'm without pets, so it isn't capped very high. Though I'm lowering it from the 80s just now so I may re-shuffle my kit if it gets unreliable as it drops
The above is all real skill so it could easily be shuffled around the skills you have stoned if you boosted up with items elsewhere.
I'm still perfecting my methods in hunting with this template, but she is a lot of fun so far, certainly something you might want to try if you've got most of the skills already.
