That's a tricky play style to have.
I usually consider healing to be a defensive ability, as well as rooting specials.
Whereas I consider High-damage attacks to be offensive.
Having the best of both worlds is pretty tough, post-CU. Usually, you'll have to sacrifice some of one thing to have another.
I would suggest asking yourself "If I had to lose something, would it be offense or defense?"
There are two schools of thought (in my opinion). Either try to outlast a Jedi (through healing and defense) and wipe out their force pool. Or, hit hard and fast, hoping to keep the Jedi on the defensive through the fight.
Being able to do both, though? That's a pretty tall order. Keeping out of Saber range is tough, considering Saber throw. You'll probably need a Long range carb or a Rifle to pull that off. Picking up any root special, like Stopping Shot, would help as well.
My personal template is geared towards Carbines. I have no medical skills, and I try to do such a vicious amount of damage that the Jedi will be burning through their force trying to stay alive. Kinda a "balls to the wall" fighting style. Of course, I would lose more often than win.But when I lose, the Jedi is limping away, not walking away, and they'll remember it.
Try to focus your idea of what you want a bit more. It's nigh impossible to be good at everything. The more specialized that you are, the better your style will be.
