I want to build a bard in the style of Thom from Robert jordan's WoT.
Minus the Flute and Harp, and Oratory.

Basically a bard that has are his bardic instrument Daggers, Maybe to make up the speech requirement a couple of shouts of hooplah, and 'Watch this:"

Can you imagine casing suggersion:
"Hey you, watch this:' *Start's juggling daggers*

I think i can con a DM into letting me have it.

on top of that i want to use daggers as both a thrown and a melee weopon.

Now i know they aren't sutable without a specialisd build as a fighting weopon.
My fighter in one of my campains wilds only daggers, (In GURPS i would get rewarded for that...ooh mayube i can convince someone to run some GURPS... doubt it, i've never played it)

close. but not quite what i was looking for.
I'll have a look at master thower and warblade though.
EDIT: also Flaws. I doubt i'll find a dm who'll let me take flaws

Stab things.

Preform weapon drill vs preform juggle?
Possible just go for Preform Dagger Stunt.
Then i can make a preform check to pull daggers from mid-air after concealling them about my person.
Maybe even use that to use a Skill check, (preform dagger stunt) which would be a move action which would both put daggers in m,y hands and grant me some form of concealed weopopn advantage like you get from warfan.

Perform Dagger stunt is a little specialized, and stuff like what you describe can be done with slight of hand and master thrower, IIRC.
Go bard + dragonfire inspiration, honestly it would just be awesome to juggle flaming daggers and then kill people with them. Maybe dip into other classes like warblade for some sweet tricks and BAB.

Now you're thinking Sleight of Hand. I think that use is covered in Complete Adventurer.
