My own [biased] opinion is that you should go MSwords/MDoc/NScout ... this is what I am now and I enjoy it alot. However, if you want to get by with the minimum... as stated, 0440 will get you buffs/rez, 4440 will get you cure disease/poison/fire as well as faster buffs. Your buffs, while never being able to compare to a Master Doctor, are still quite good... easy to buff over 2000 as a x44x with good packs.

They are both right...
Just realize that Master Swordsman, Master Brawler, 0440 Doc isn't possible... 1 skill point short.
I'd go MD, M Swords,1000 Scout myself

Well, nope. Nov Doc or less wouldn't be enough for what you want to do. If you're lookingto able to buff, rez and use woundpacks and stims you could go 0-4-4-0 in Doc. Leaving the crafting line out and the Treatment Speed too, though if you did leave the Treat. Speed line out you'd heal alot slower (obviously) and wouldn't be able to use fire blankets, cure disease and poison packs. So if you really need the skill points for something else that's the best option you got I think.

My essential skills (apart from whacking things on the head with a hammer) will be healing, rez-ing and buffing. The buffs can be for less than 3 hours because when they run out I'll be able to buff again.
My question is - do I need master doctor or can I get by with novice doctor and less? Saving some scout skills for harvesting or picking up master brawler for toughness looks tempting but the overall goal here is to end up with the skills above.

Good feedback - thanks. Some comments and three questions:
Master swordsman gets an enormous boost if you can afford the skill points for master brawler. If I get master brawler I can only afford 0430 for doctor. So my choice will be very simple - I can either get master doctor and a bit of some other trade or master brawler and 0340 doctor.
1. With 0430 doctor will I be able to rez?
2. With 0430 will I be able to heal dizzy?
3. With 0430, if I buy a nice buff pack from a vendor who is master doctor and has all the experimentation skill tapes, what sort of stats could I expect?

1. With 0430 doctor will I be able to rez? Yep.
2. With 0430 will I be able to heal dizzy? Yep. You only need Novice Doc to be able to heal all states.

Well, with 0430 Doc you would only be able to use enhance packs with med use 80 or lower (since that last box in Med Knowledge will take your Med Use down to 80).Meaning you would have to buy Enhance Packs Cs or lower. Those normally have power around 600, so with Bivoli and all the rest you can expect a 1650 buff for about 2 hours or less. (That's based on the resources I used in Bloodfin to craft my last C pack) But in my opinion, you would really have a hard time to find any Doc out there with +12 experimentation points and the best resources and components that would be willing to make you sets of Enhance Cs, since Cs takes basically all the same resources Ds do. (including our precious avian meat and reactive gas).

I was planning to go Rifle/BH, but my re-rolling itch has caught up with me, and although I managed to restrain myself from deleting my entire character this time, I have decided to go with a totally different RP background and template. A melee template(boo, hiss etc, I know, but at least Im doing it for RP reasons 
), which is something I have little experiance with, so advice would be much appreciated.
There are two templates Im thinking of, but which would be better for Jedi-killing(note, that is my only concern, PvE is secondary).
BH 3xxx(obviously)
Master Swordsman
Combat Prowess xx44
Enhanced Reflexes 24xx
Pistoleer xx4x
or
BH 3xxx
Master Swordsman
Combat Prowess xx14
Medic 2x3x
Any other suggestions for a Swords/BH template are welcome.

what do you want to hunt? knights or padawans, my template right now is:
bh 4000 (for more droid updates)
master 2hand
TKA 0300
I am planning to migrate to
bh 4000
master 2hand
pistols 0043
I find that i can take just about anyone i want in the right situation, but i'm also at +94 speed from tapes and swing a 829 max hammer. If you don't want to invest a lot into tapes and hammers, i'd suggest pike, but use 2hand to kill a load of sisters and loot some good pikes first. Otherwise, tkm with just fists served me very well for a very long time. I find that with 2 hand i take knights down more than padawans.
But i think that I am taking knights for a different reason. Padawans like to run. So TKM usually lands enough of a dizzy/kd to keep them around. With the hammer area3 can dizzy/posture change good (i find it sticks better than tka KD2) but if they break it, they're bound to run. Sword doesn't really have an easy "get back here" move like KD2. If I pay attention and really plan my attack, i think sword is far better than tka, but the investment to kill jedi was high, i have to take another 12 knights out to pay for the ackley in my hammer (i know i should have gotten it myself).
Defence vs states is good, especially kd, and with the pistol 0040 you'll have +70 against kd, stack in thaktillo and you'll resist nearly every KD a jedi will try to hit you with (and they will waste a lot of force and time trying).
But to go back to your templates, i think medic is a good idea, but i'd take 0040 over 2030 any day just to use med use stim-d's. Most jedi will fight with a one-hand anyway, so it will turn into a mind vs. mind battle, no stims needed, grab moun gold, brandy, pikatta pie, steak and canape if you can fit it all in your stomach. With that in mind, i'd rather die to a jedi without having used medic, than had medic and died without good def vs states.
Also you might find that your pts are better spent for some extra melee defences than those force trees.

Hrrm, thanks, that helps.
Right now there's just no way I can afford speed and accuracy tapes, so it really comes down to what I can pull off first: very lucky looting, huge amounts of cash or xp needed for Forse Sensitivity.
I think Ill go for the defenses of xx4x Pistoleer for now, if I can make enough cash to buy +sword speed/acc CAs later on then I will drop the FS lines, although I do get +20 melee def from Enhanced Reflexes x4xx, and I can pobably get some BE clothing with +melee def to tide me over.

My current template is MBH/MPistols/Smuggler 0040. I had dropped medic to get the full line of dirty fighting, cause i think medic sucks since the CU. I do PvE, but i like PvP mainly. Anyone have suggestions on anything better to replace the smuggler with? Carbs, another combination, etc?

I just got access to The Village. My current template is MBH/Master Carbines w/ 0/4/0/4 pistols.
What trees in my FS do I need to train in? And should I unlearn this stuff and maybe start learning TKM, or Swordsman or something?
I'm just a little confused as to how much of a role my current template is going to play into Jedi. Why would a Jedi need to be a master carbineer for example.

that seems like a good template to FS grind on can get 1.2 mil carbine exp and 900k combat, rifle and pistol exp , id sticks with that template that way you can still pvp well if thats what you do
