First off, when I'm leveling up with my minstrel, it seems that the POM chant and healing isn't worth it because the regen rates are fast. Am I wrong here? Are minstrels only useful in PvP with their CC and speed? Second, if I don't have to auto-train instruments, what should stealth level be as I level up. I do want to do Thidranki and such. I also would rather run with stealth group. Thanks in advance!

Heal song hasn't really ever been great, however it does help with regening health out of combat quite a bit. As for power song, it's definitely worth running in a group when you are without a Sorc.
Depending on your group composition the group ablative song can very useful to twist in with power song as well (and it can be run without your instrument out allowing you to throw in some melee as needed)
For PVE minstrels certainly dont excel any any one thing but they do bring a lot of utility and there is a considerable gap between those who make use of all their tools versus those who just "afk pom song" their way to 50. I'm still leveling mine and so far it's certainly one of the harder classes to play well from what I've seen, but that just makes it all the much more rewarding.

Heal song is great for healing your pet if you have a red or purple one you want to keep alive.
Once the pet is out of combat and starts getting health ticks, it'll be full in like 10 seconds.
Minstrels do kind of suck in group PvE, but you can try to make yourself useful (besides POM) by using a strong pet and stunning/peeling for your healers/casters. It is very easy to hold a high level pet on this server, even a purple one with 80%+ resist is controllable. You can get some really cool pets once you hit lvl 40+.
Finding a red/purple pet that hits hard or has a good dot, nuke, DD proc etc and using it to kill yellows solo can yield pretty good XP. I generally just maximize my task-xp if i cant find a group.
I recommend using high con pets in PvE all the time just to get used to twisting your songs and targeting/re-charming your pet. Remember you can put pet attack/passive/pet target etc to your quickbar so you dont have to click the pet window.
Dont put any points at all in stealth while leveling. If you want stealth in BGs, just use the free respec at your trainer and then spec back to "normal" for PvE
