I went up the Dead Eye line, I'm 0,4,0,0. I found the accuracy while moving paid off more for me. I can fire while moving amongst my group for healing. I found I didn't use the pistol whip feature enough to pay the high points for it. It also limited my movement when I needed it. I put the other points into scouting for harvesting and freer movement. We move slow enough as is but slowing down an entire group while I crawl up hills was just too annoying.

As refinement of the recommendation, I would suggest that you go for a 0-1-0-4 instead. If you like, since the combat xp is so slow you can initially gain Accuracy and then sell the skill points back to speed.

Body Shot 2 has an inherent accuracy bonus, so you will gain far more net value from speed than accuracy (not that accuracy isn't very nice to have). And don't be misled by the small +6 you gain. Each successive +6 is worth far more than the +6 that precedes it, because of how the math works.

Good luck to you.

I've found that I like 0043 for the pistoleer line, to supplement my CH/medic/doc abilities. It gives me Fan Shot/Stopping Shot to help my group (or my pets), and gives me decent speed for them, so after a special I'm not standing there like, waiting to pop a stim for someone. With this combo my pistol special speed is practically 1/sec, and after that 1 sec I can either shoot again or heal someone.

It also gives me Pistol Melee Defense 2, which can allow me to knockdown and then run away from aggros that come over to me from the main fight (i.e. baz nitches).
