Flails beware,Nyak's die ill turn you all into burnt frenchfries
You should definitely try to get some knockdown. Nothing beats Flame 2 after the opponent is down. (Actually the Skullcrush of the Heavy Swordsmand regularly hits for more, so I guess that's not entirely correct...)
So I would go for at least Pistol Melee Defense (from the Pistoleer tree)or Low Blow (from the Smuggler Tree).

CH is nice, I got 75% of my experience with a grand wrix on dantooine, send in the pet, let the seething bol aggro on it, light the bol on fire, let them burn.. wash and repeat.
Medic is sweet.. I have LvL2 everything and a master doctor who can supply me with Uber-Stim B's to heal me in one shot, saved my butt last night in a duel with a dude who was a TK and combat medic, threw poison on me and ran thinking it would incap me.. the healing saved me til I got him in range for flamesingle 2...
Smuggler is good, I dropped CH to get it after I hit master... same thing.. if you need money, go to dantooine, 13k seething bol missions, light them on fire, /feigndeath wait til they die, get up and repeat.
Pistoleer... also good.. specially if you happen to get a Krayt Launcher... Fan Shot or stopping shot with one of those babies... nasty.
Teras Kasi... I'm gonna try that soon... they have INSANE defensive bonuses compared to other classes, and if meditate works well enough I may even drop medic.
Just my two cents

I think CH is better for pure PvE. My guildmate Cenlbrian is a master CH and he plows through Dathomir missions with his two graul maulers.
However, with the upcoming changes to CH, you will need 4 boxes in 2 trees, and 3 boxes in another skill tree to use a graul mauler. That's assuming they don't raise the level of graul maulers, either. So basically you need to be a master to use any worthwhile pets.
For pvp I think the pistol speed/accuracy bonuses in pistoleer are a must. But that's just my opinion.
