I've been trying different combonations of foods and spices to find a way to keep it under control and here's what I've been using with really good sucesss.
1) Use an actioncost/ -accuracy powerup. Cuts you down 16-20 accuracy but takes away like 30% action.
2) Take Vasarian brandy and scrimpi (food with like +150 health and 200 action regen if i remember right)
3) Booster blue and neutron pixie (you can take 2 spices at once, and downer is really short, very very nice).
4 (optional) ) Doctor buffs. Helps alot but you can live without them (I never go out seeking them, but I like them when people apply them to me).
Using this combo I can usually use my high-action specials like legshot/headshot alternation for awhile, and if your doing some really long term fighting alternate rangedshot and placed shot and you'll barely notice a drain.

I assume you are talking PvP because the time on Brandy is way too short for its filling now to be used in PvE.

Yea for PvE you can stager the foods and spices a bit, and probably have to use ranged shot more often than legshot combos. If your with a group its ok since you can slow down your dps a little and maybe theres even a doc with you, especially on boss raids. I can't really think of a situations where you'd need non-stop full-tilt action draining while solo PvEing.

Yeah I use Doc Buffs (still have alt that is MDoc) and progress a bit slower between solo kills in PvE but keep Leg Shot as my default attack.
I have some sub-80 SAC Carbines made now and they can really make a difference too, but my highest damage Carbine is my E11 Mk.2 at 94 SAC that I am using for now.

I use foraged foods. I am a scout with good forage skill so I just forage every chance I get. I get things that boost action and other regens all the time. If I do run out of action I pop one and it regens very fast.

Base DPS with PU is 501.27 using -Acc and +Speed PU.....but it feels like Speed doesn't matter so I don't think this PU really gives boost. Damage is 489-1025 on my E11 Mk.2
Using -Speed and +Max PU I get to 593 Modified DPS and 350.2 Base DPS with Damage 634-1170 
And that might be better even though listed DPS is lower....gotta do more testing once Double XP is over.
