If you want to combine it, sure, do it. But if you want to do something special that is only one of it (and that's usually a char for strong roleplay), and can't be changed without bending the rules (not that I think that you can't make a good rogue/bard/arcane trickster. He'll not be a candidate for the Sultans of Smack, but he will be effective, IMO), you either play him or not. You don't bend the rules (with negative ECL or such silliness).Also, I have in fact had a character with more ranks in perform than he needed (he needed three, because he wanted to become bladesinger, and now he has 15 or something), more than will give him any tangible benefit, but he's still effective. AND I have done more than just using the rules to min/max the character. I don't think it will hurt our trickster here to put more than 12 ranks into perform, and he can say he's a better minstrell than all those min-maxer bards out there!</blockquote>
