I'm a full Temp Jedi. I left the game 6-7 months ago and returned with the CU. I have seen the Jedi nerf of late and now the BH nerf.
I am MDef, 4003 Enh, 4020 Heal and 0044 LS. Not a particularly damage-dealer temp. But with Melee and ranged BE cloths, alittle food and attentiveness, I feel pretty safe.
I have dueled as many BH temps as possible. The outcome of the best dabbler temps against me has been a long boring draw. Unless a BH has zero healing I will not kill him and I have yet to be incapped or even close to it. My force cost on my saber is very low, my best damage move is a low F cost, and with channel and tanking ability, my force may get to just over 50% after a 20 minute battle. Not to mention holocrons which I have never had to use.
I have been rooted, stunned, concusioned, etc... and shook it off.
Aside from a well timed sneak attack, I see no danger. Rather then stand there for 30-40 minutes fighting, I would probably just fight for a few minutes, tip my hat and escape, since I will never do enough damage to kill a good BH, who will have some healing no doubt.
I listen to the BH temps in my guild suffer through the "find a Jedi" problem and that is gonna get worse. Every BH that has gone after a Jedi in my guild has died, (all MSabers in their temos)and every BH in my guild that has gone after a Jedi has died. You guys that stay BH are hard core and I salute the class of true players that hangs in there.
PvP got boring kinda quick as well. What we need is some new content. Ah well, just gonna have to wait and see I guess.

Ok, I'll bite, since the other two posts so far don't seem to understand "constructive."
You're absolutely right in that a BH vs. fully templated jedi in 1v1 will rarely, if ever, win. I can spend 5MM on armor and a weapon to have great stats/resists, another 5MM on aa/ca's for defenses and bonuses to my attacks, food up, come charging in, and either die or draw.
What I have to do if I want to win is be cunning. That has made the hunts fun. It's not an "I win" button by any means, but it does give me a fighting chance.
The patch 20 notes have made me decide to drop MBH, which I've not only enjoyed, but made a few friends because of. The reason isn't so much that BH will become even more difficult, but that SOE obviously has more love for jedi than any other profession in game. On that note, I'm dropping MBE on my alt for the very same reason.
The thought of carrying a saber makes me gag (I was a Han Solo fan, not a Luke fan), but I am FS. No decision on what I'll do, but it's likely that I will go jedi. There is quite a bit of content in game that is really "jedi only" anymore, and I'm cut off unless I want to be jedi support. It's horribly frustrating, and the only thing keeping me ingame right now is that there isn't another Star Wars MMORPG game on the market.
Maybe now that jedi will be even easier to attain, the servers will flood with them, and we'll all be on an even playing field again. /sigh
