You only get the benefits of dodge if you are using a 1-handed weapon, so it would be worthless to you. Use the TKA trees you were planning.
Swordman does have the second highest toughness behind TKA, so it's not a bad choice. You'd be better off by mastering brawler along with swordsman. (or any melee prof you decide to choose)
TKA is probably thought of as the best to use without armor, but I'm not sure how true it is.
I think once you master any of the melee professions, you won't need armor much except against real tough mobs. I'm a master fencer and I rarely need armor except against tough mobs.

I hate armors. I remember the good times when wearing armor was a trade off (use less specials). Now with the overpowered armors and buffs everyone and their dog wear an armor (and yeah, me too).
So, here's the idea: making a melee character fightingwithout an armor. Is it even possible?
I'm aimingfor:CH 2-2-0-0 (currently master, Ijust can't drop it all)
Medic 0-0-3-0 (for thestims C, I guess I'll need them a lot)
Master swordman (for the dammage)
TKA 4-0-0-4 (meditation and defense lines)
or
Fencer 4-0-4-0 (first one is obvious, second would be for dodge, is it worth it?)
What do you think, would a TKA be more suited to no armor combat? I hope not, I already have 3 swordsman skills...
