Well I have two characters... Dejah the entertianer and Katja the TK/CH. Guess which one is bugged and which one isn't? I'll give you a hint... the bugged one is not Dejah. 
Dejah's dances still work, and look the same as always. Her music works, same as always. Her instruments work the same as they always did. She can heal BF (have not had the /watch/listen bug myself, fortunately). She gives inspirations in no time flat if people want them (not that I care or pay any attention to it at all). She still looks gorgeous with those blue lekku and her sexy dresses. Her emotes and socials all work. Nope, no bugs, no problems... other than the mind wound/insp buff change, Dejah is the same as she always was, in terms of entertainment.
Katja on the other hand... OMG they have so hosed both TK and CH. And I am not talking about leetness here.
TKA... The moves look dreadful now. I have gone from a combination Tae Kwon Do/Karate black belt to a Joe Frazier style boxer who occasionally kicks people in the groin. Particle effects from combat sometimes lag even my high end (1 GB RAM, 3 GHz processor, 256 MB GeForce card) system (which has been rock solid otherwise). Half my moves don't seem to activate half the time when I click them. Oh it is so sad and buggy... And the new weapon, the blaster fist... it's hideous! I look like I'm beating people with a broken-off doorknob.
And CH, so much worse... Pets are not callable even when they are below your tame level sometimes. Pets get 'stuck' in attack mode and the only way to fix it is to log out... nothing else works. Babies attack me when I'm nowhere near them and not even trying to tame (let alone taming, which I have yet to be able to do without being attacked). I can't pull my 3 favorite pets for fear they will get bugged, so they're just sitting, unused and unusable, in my data pad. A friend CH of mine had his favorite pet converted (irreversibly, apparently) into an unusable level 208 (!) pet. Oh yeah, and half the commands for pets don't work anymore... and the ones that do are flakey at best.
After my experiences as a TK/CH on that account, I logged back into Dejah last night and was talking to a friend Fencer/CH. I laughed and said, "Actually, I am glad they left entertainers mostly out of the cobmat upgrade." As near as I can tell, everything they touched, they broke or else ruined... so I'd rather they not touch us than do to us what they did to the other profs.
And I won't even talk about my friends the Pikemen, whose animations went from being the coolest thing in the game to being so lackluster it made some of them want to cry...
One thing I'm sure about now. The devs have absolutely ZERO aesthetic taste. Dancer and musician is all about aesthetic taste... I shudder to think what they would do if they actually did something "for" us. LOL.

Don't worry, they'll get around to breaking us Soon(tm) enough...
Seriously, it's really a worrying thing, isn't it? Usually in an MMORPG, when added content and other goodies are on the horizon for your favorite class/profession, you'd be all excited and couldn't wait to try them out. In SWG, the first thought that hits you (well, me anyway) is "Oh please, I hope they don't mess up again, we're almost working properly already".
