Make sure you are using Enhancers from a BE on all the CM dots you can. After your last item above, the jedi should be getting up. Apply the damage dots then start beating on them. Shoot and scoot....try and stay out of melee range so they hit you less.
You can't win every fight, but you can avoid most losses by picking your fights and walking away from the ones where you see no advantage or surprise is totally lost. Never give them a fair fight if you can help it.
Last bit of advice is, buy or hunt CA/AA's to improve Acc and Speed on weapons and then your CM abilities.
I feel your pain as I finally got my first kill yesterday. Don't get down on yourself, it takes plenty of practice. Soon you will start picking your terrains where you want to engage from. You will eventually get in a routine where you know exactly the specials you want to use and when to use them. It all takes time.
If you don't have 8K Energy resist armor that is sliced for Armor Break I adivse you do that before you take another Jedi mission. I fought with standard Ubese and was getting clobbered. Like an above poster said, my as well fight naked. Finally, I shelled out 1.5 mill for an 8K Energy resist Black Ubese Suit. I paid over a mill for the SHock Paddings to have it sliced and found a Smuggler willing to slice for free. 2.5 mill credits later I had an 8K Energy Resist Suit, sliced for Armor Break, and an Energy PSG on top of it. Now, my fights last a very long time. I pride myself on being very patient and waiting for my enemy to make a mistake. Some of my fights last over 30 minutes now. It is great. I still need to get a couple more kills under my belt but now more than ever I konw how my template works and when to use what specials. You get this experience by being in a long fight. A 3-4 minute fight won't teach you much on how to hunt Jedi. Give yourself a fighting chance and get the sliced energy resist armor. Trust me on that one.
Also, like the above poster said, you are a MCM so keep debuffs/DOTs on him at all times. You are not going to win the fight with a couple shots so be patient, don't panic. Throw some debuffs/DOTs, use your specials, if yourAction is running low (it shouldnt, eat regen foods) then use your default attacks. Put the pressure on him. Keep healed up and keep dealing damage. Use StimDs and Ruby Biel. Even if you are rooted dont panic, make sure you are healed. I foght a Jedi that rooted me constantly (well whenever the timer allowed) but by the time he rooted me and ran up to me he would get a couple shots in before the timer was up. I would try a KD right away and if that didn't work I'd Bacta Shot. I knew I would get hit so my as well keep my health up to stay alive. Don't panic like I said. That just leads to button smashing and not thinking clearly.
I am no expert, there are a lot of BHs here who have a lot mroe experience than me. But as a new comer like you I feel like I have some good tips to share as I have just went through the headaches you did jsut recently.
