Reletively new to the BH experience and I have the build of MBH,MCM and Pistoleer 1-0-0-3.
Question 1: I cant seem to pull off a ton of damage with lack or weapon specials. Can some of the Bh's with this build tell me what they are doing
Question 2: Was it a good Idea to go Master Combat Medic or can I go CM 0-0-4-4 (For debuffs) and get some more skills in pistoleer.
I appriciate all help in advance.

My damage output with a very similar build is very high.
Poison/Fire together, even without enhancers, tick for around 500pts every (I believe) 8 seconds.
Critical shot with a decent pistol will give you somewhere around 800 to 1000+ damage.
Your debuffs from CM will slow your opponent to a crawl.
You can heal yourself.
I have to ask, what is your CL, and what are you trying to attack? I have tried a number of professions, and I consider BH/CM to be a very good damage dealer. Only one I can think of that hits a little harder would be Rifles.

Thankyou for helping me out. I am cl 80 so I guess I was just comeing off at the wrong angle.

Yes, none of your moves, in and of themselves, are all that powerful... You have to look at it 'big picture'.
25 dmg/sec (estimate) for the fire tick
25 dmg/sec (estimate) for the poison tick
400 dmg/sec (estimate) if you just alternate between crit shot and ranged shot
10 dmg/sec (estimate) for the bleed
----
460 dmg/sec (very rough estimate with a crappy gun and no enhancers)
That puts a 20k health level 80 Mob as dead in around 45 seconds. We'll fudge a bit for level 81 bounty marks and that makes for around a 60 second fight. These are all very rough numbers obviously, and can be greatly influenced by your weapon, enhancers, etc., but it's right about spot on. Takes me around 1 min to finish a bounty mark off when I find them, and if it's a boss, give me another 30 seconds.
Damage output on BH/CM is very good. Just find yourself a nice fast gun with decent low SAC and even partially decent damage, add in some 1k enhancers for your fire and poison, and you'd do just fine
As a side note, has anyone else noticed that it's almost better to use a fast weapon, just because you can apply your states quicker, as apposed to something slower with higher damage? I favor my quick light-hitting FWG5 I picked up quite a bit over my "hand cannon", just because I can mezz like mad with it
