I am a master BH from way before the CU, but have only recently started hunting Jedi. I generally fair pretty well against most templates, however there is a couple that I am having trouble with and was hoping for some input on how to deal with these pesky marks. I am MBH, M Carbs, 4000 CM.
The first of course would be the Master Defender. Even with accuracy foods and what not, My 1050 max damage 900 DPS Elite Carbine manages to eek out a whopping 184 points of damage per hit. Is there no other choice than to wait it out for when they are in the middle of a battle with low health and avoid incap running to mount an attack? I did try this tactic last night and it worked quite well. Just wondering if there is another solution.
The second would be Master Enhancer. Even though it is quite rediculous to be able to have a seat and meditate back some force in the middle of a battle, it is something that we all have to deal with. Every time i get frozen in time, I picture the person throwing their hands up to form a T, yelling "Time out!" and getting up to go get a coke or go to the bathroom. I have not found anything to counter this tactic and would really appreciate any input.
Well anyway, thanks in advance for the info.

Master Defender are geared towards fighting ranged only professions. Their defenses, innate armor, and valor reduce your combat efficiency by making you hit for less, miss more, and get more shots blocked! That's why MBH MCM are more geared towards them because they can last for long periods of time and dots go through armor... On the other hand, non-defenders are easily taken out by attack-centric MBHs. So your best strategy for master defenders is to either strike when the time is right or wade it out as long as possible.
Now Master Enhancers and Stasis (lol and people complain about paralyze).... only thing I can say is try to keep out of range of it... also because of force armor, if they have a little defender they will be about as hard to hit as a MDef! So again wade it out, keep out of range, or try to alpha strike.

For Mdef the answer lies in the signature of the guy above. Defender is a tank build, and you can't really hurt them1 on 1. MCM would prolly be the best simply because dots bypass all their defenses and they're forced to heal, hence drain force.

As for enhancers, haven't fought one after pub 20, but they're even worse than defenders. They can literally finish you off without a scratch. KD -> Stasis -> (wait 30 sec KD timer) -> KD -> Stasis etc. Don't know if the newly introduced anger state works for stasis, but that's the way it was before.
