it has taught me that i LOVE MY CARBINES... i mean i LOVE THEM!!!
i have quietly /respec'ed my character to Master Rifleman - i hit hard...but even with tons of speed added, i felt like i was moving in slow motion.the T-21 makes a VERY cool sound now...but that was pretty much all i liked about Rifleman (btw my T-21 had a max damage of 1078 un-pup'ed so i don't think it was a problem with my weapons)
i spent a couple of days as a /respec'ed Pistoleer after hearing all of the hubaloo about Stopping Shot. 95% of what i hunt shoots back...so stopping them meant nothing at all. i DID like the delay Disarming shot caused...but not enough to have to plink away for 5-7 minutes to finish a fight.
i am NOT disrespecting the other ranged professions. they are GREAT...for other players. i have seen people do AMAZING things with Pistols and Rifles, and for them, that is wonderful
but for me, Carbine is KING!
now that i have had a chance to try other ranged professions at the master level Post-CU, there is no doubt in my mind that my templates will forever be Carbines + ??
current issues not withstanding, the Carbine has become the weapon i always wished it was. the perfect combination of power and speed. Not as powerful as a Rifle, but then it does not need to be when you are dealing damage so muchfaster than a rifle. Not as fast as a Pistol, but then it doesn't need to be THAT fast when you are dealing so much more damage per shot at a decent rate.
in case you can't tell, i am having a great deal of fun with my carbines LOL. i was very VERY resistant to the CU, and i have LOTS of issues with it, but on some levels it has brought some things to the game that it lacked before. for example, i HATED logging into the game to immediately stand in line at a starport to get buffed just so i could put on composite armor to go out and hunt something worth while. NOW, if i want to go hunt in my Rebel Assault Armor, i just put it on and hunt...with my carbines 
enjoy carbs ive been usin em sense i started

I love carbines too.
I was very dissatisfied with what the CU did to MCarb so I respec around to get my wanted crowd control, but ... two days before the respec orignially should end I changed back to MCarb.
Its that what I want to be, even if its "broken".
I took improved eye shot from the BH line, 99% of my targets shoot back. I hope we ll get a area KD again since a snare or a root wouldnt help much against 12 troopers shooting back. I hope in addition that fullautoarea will randomly stun/dizzy/blind/KD ?/ anything? again.
With my increased damage output (what is realy nice !) I aggro a lot and added improved duelist stance to my template and am now

Yeah and my beste carbines are an elite with and E11 MK II with above 900 max damage.

Carbines seems to strike a very nice balance for me; Rifles' specials, outside large multipliers, are something to be desired; and I never really caught on with Pistol's dissapointing damage and range.
MBH + MCarbs:
Full Auto Area + Spray Shot = Fun
Now, if only Suppression Fire got fixed; carnage
