You reach you Max 15 Sorcerer spells and gain 6 more spells, medium and weapons with Lore of Valor, and increase in skills.   Then Magic Initiate for Cleric.

The sorlock has Eldritch Blast and Invocations that boost it that give them an impressive DPR boost with just a 2 level dip into warlock. If you go bard instead you get more utility spells known and a few (daily) slots so you'll be more supportive, you get 5 AC so you'll be more survivable, but how did your damage increase? You're also lacking bard 5 for the short rest inspiration dice.
