Yep, that's what I do, but I often times find myself forgetting to eat them lol. I'm so used to not having TN, it really doesn't bother me.

I've been considering changing my template. Right now I'm Master Carbineer, 3400 BH. I dont want another melee profession in terms of damage, but I'd only pick it up for the defenses and the meditation. Can you honestly say that a Carbineer/Melee stacker is better than a Carbineer/BH?
I should have my Carbineer/Fencer/Pistoleer template done by this weekend, so lets /duel and find out which is better 
Sadly I'm stuck on a 26kbs modem for another 2 weeks. It'd take 6 hours alone just to download the recent patch.

It's hard to say. I was Carbineer/3400 BH, then opted in favor of Carbineer/0300BH/Novice Med.. and after a few other builds.. settled on Carbineer/M.Fencer/4003TK/Nov. Med.
At the time of being a BHer, I didn't need Krayt Carbines (speed capped) and hence lost on that potential +70/80 upwards tissue max damage increase.. Ididn't need Accuracy SEAs either.. and having little defense and having started PvP then, died often.
After having PvPed almost everyday since (its been 3-4 months now), I feel that Melee defense stacking is better, simply because the fact that I'm not speedcapped on my Laser/Elite/DXr6 yet (but oh so close) means I find Im using Carbines for long-range states/KDs and then switch to Fencer with an Acklay baton for any form of damage. That, and the fact that a TK can Nexu Grin me for many minutes while Im KDd just makes it feel more viable if you SOLO PvP.
In other words, I can run overt in Theed and manage to take on litterally anyone.. only CM/Riflemen will pose a threat. (And that's a lot of people, sadly.. hehe) I don't know how I'd live without the added defenses. Blinded Riflemen are just that.. blind. Intimidated targets will cry.. and a good way to get out of a Dizzy/KD is to spam /stand;/warcry.. works everytime.. enough to burstrun, pull out the Carbine, KD, and get to work.
Confusion Shot alone makes me drool though.. and being speedcapped, you can CrippleShot and do RAW damage, unlike a Master Carbineer with even +25 speed tapes (2.7 speed weapons are still not that easy to come by.. requires decent tissues and a form-fitted scope, as you know.. if you don't want to sacrifice a slice.)
As for the duel TAfirehawk mentionned? It wouldn't do justice.. I do far better in 1 on 1 duels, simply because I have Master Fencer and can use the bugged ScatterHit on you, and keep you intimidated. In large PvP encounters, when you're firing ConfusionShot at 50m, I'll be wondering how I got Dizzied so fast and where the heck that crippleshot is coming from.

OUCH, how can you go that long without getting your "fix"......
