Out of curiosity, what do you all like best about being a brawler?
Personal Favorite: Intimidate2. Also, it's great to not have to worry about getting slapped silly by things like Gualamas with toughness (Unless of course you're a Pikeman... Sorry guys/gals). Also, melee combat has always been my preference, archaic or not, melee proficiency has it's place.

Brawlers look cool =)
I love seing a special move, it's always something different unlike ranged professions.
But I think there could be an improvement for brawlers by deleting the radar. In that way we could trap players and set some ambush see? It would be more strategic and would give some more fun to PvP / GCW. And therefore we could give the radar to Jedi Knights, they can sense the danger you know 
Unfortunately, there would be too much griefing.... /shrug

The fact that almost every single move we can do is important and matters. There are a few that aren't that useful save for certain rare situations(or not at all) but everything from the state effects, to position changes, all of it is important and I use most of my moves every day I happen to be out hunting or in combat.
With ranged professions the goal is to just run away, keep your distance, and drop something as quick as possible because if it gets to you, you're in trouble 
With melee professions I have the time and ability to fight something toe to toe so I can have fun figuring out how to beat something instead of having to constantly worry about keeping away from it.
I'm not a huge fan of combat, but brawling has ended up being a ton of fun and is something I don't mind doing from time to time

I like Intimidate, love Warcry (grrrrr), and while we may be screwed in many ways, us pikemen have the best animations in the game. No no, be quiet, we're better than you. 
About the radar... I hate games that don't have a radar. Sure it isn't realistic technically, but I can't turn the camera as fast as I can turn my head irl, so the camera makes up for that deficiency. Besides.. if you suggest it should be nerfed, chances are it will be.

I like brawler because I find it gives more of a thrill, and I actually have to use strategy unlike just running away like I did when I was a pistoleer.

i became master brawler to support, my master swordman. so for me Warcry2 and knockdown move was what i sign up as master brawler for. i chosen the brawler profession thinking that most of the game people will be using guns, the thought of having the chance to give veriety to the galaxy was the fun part for me. (little did i know most of the player end up as TKA or seems like it at least)
or seems like it at least)

I am a master brawler and i love the warcry2 effect because it has saved me from death in many situations both in pve and pvp. I solo Nightsister Elders with that and Intimidate2. I'd be lost without them. I also can solo a Canyon Krayt Dragon although it takes a while to defeat. Also a master swordsman. Never used Berserk2 in ages.

I like brawler because it is exotic and difficult. I was a ranged character from July to November until I got a holo that said to Master Swordsman. I thought "aww man I hate melee, unarmed 4 for commando was hard enough." I loved Swordsman because of the medium armor piercing weapons and the mind bleeds. Brawler is much more difficult than ranged. A ranged character can kite melee animals and force sensitives all day while we are expected to take damage with no where to run.

Well really a Krayt shouldnt be as hard as though are now anyways. In a book I read called "Tales from Jabbas Palace" a guy kills a krayt by jumping onto its head and shooting down into its nazal cavity. It took one shot and the Krayt fell over dead...

i like being able to tank the big game. you see all of those rifleman/tka/fencer FotM templates out there rule in pvp, but against a krayt dragon, they get chewed on. get me in there with my power hammer or long vibro axe, and i'll tank that thing until its dead. with my composite armor, a good set of buffs, center of being, and some brandy, there's little out there that i can't tank for my group. now if i could only find that gorax!
