Hey there folks.
I'm looking for a template that will utterly CC a target in PVE and/or PVP. I don't care if I can kill them solo or not, I just want to be able to essentially take them out of a fight, for as long as possible. Or at least, debuff them so hard that it won't matter that they are contributing. Think of a Controller in City of Heroes if you've ever played that game. CC is the focus here, not damage.
I have heard that CM is the place to be for such a template, but figured I would ask around a bit. So, what do you guys think?
Remember, I don't care really about making the kill myself (though that would be a nice added bonus) but rather I am more concerned with CCing a target until they want to cry. Sometmes the illusion of being an unstoppable force is better than actually being one.
So, here's what I've come up with:
MCM-MCarb-xxx4 Pistoleer
This gives me a KD, a Root, 2 Snares (3 if you count the AOE Carb snare), a Mez, and a slew of debuffs, plus good heals.
I had considered mastering Pistoleer instead of Carbineer, but I felt the range of Pistols was big disadvantage, though any CM debuffs need to be close anyway (and I could always pick up 2 Cybernetic Range arms), so perhaps I'm mistaken in that assumption.
Anyone else have a better, CC until they cry Template? Any input would be appreciated.

I have the best crowd control template possible, IMHO. CM4000/MCommando/Msmuggler allows me to root 5+ people for 40 seconds in ONE SHOT.

The main reason I chose to stay with pistols when i started CM was the range issue with CM specials. I haven't timed my root shot but at master pistoleer it seems to last for a decent amount of time.
That area snare might be nice though. I picked up a little of the BH to get my knock down shot.
I haven't tried the range arms yet, but i've got a rifleman guildmate that hasn't taken them off since he put them on, lol. So we may both have to look into them.

You can take 1 person out of a fight permanently just as a Master CM with paralyse *shrugs*
I have a MCM/MD/Pistols0004 for tactics like Root/Debuffs/Para/DoTs/shoot-to-death
If I'm getting hurt and the DoTs aren't onthen I para/heal/para/heal until I'm ready to spank them again. Makes things cry in PvP and PvE

CM/Smuggler/Pistoleer would be the best "Crowd Control" in my opinion.

mcm msmuggler and pistols x x x 4?
you'd just need a doc and foods to keep your action up to the point where you could use all those specials. Might be a bit of overkill unless a person was going to be heading into high end dungeons or pvp where you had to keep your eye on several targets.
