how exactly does your dot communicate with a soundbar? i can connect to my soundbar directly with my phone using bluetooth but i dont see how alexa would do that.

In the Alexa app you go to settings and then click on the Dot in the device list and you'll see the bluetooth setting.

One thing I absolutely hate about the BT function is that it continues to output the audio to BT even when it's not connected to a device.

i cant get dot to connect to google music or pandora. that renders its ability to play music useless to me.

Using Amazon Prime, I can stream Amazon Music (which is a freebie for Prime Members), but I also use the $3.99 single Alexa device premium music service from Amazon which can also stream that music (honestly comparable to Apple Music/Spotify/etc IMO). You can also stream Tune In Radio channels using Prime as its included in the Alexa with Prime as well.

From there I just connect the Dot to whatever BT device I want and bingo bango boingo, I'm streaming whatever it's streaming to the speaker it's connected to.

I'm guessing Pandora can't be far off from being able to use with it but I left that service in the dust long ago...
