This has probaly been asked quite a few times, but I wondering the pros and cons between master doc/swordsman or Master Doc/TKM. From what I can see it comes down to a few things:
Swordsman
Pros:
Medium Armor piercing
Blast Damage
Cons:
Does not hit speed cap without SEA
No mediate
TKA Pros:
Medatation/powerboost (not as big since I'm also a master doc, but still good)
Hits speed cap.
Cons:
AP light (VK)
1 damage type (will be 2nd,but will harder to get than a swordsman speed SEA)
They look pretty even, but I'm wondering if i'm missing something. Is mediate so much more usefull than mediuam ap2 and blast damge? Here is some more info: I'm a wookie, I dont plan to do much PvP until after the rebalance (and hopeully new wookie armor).So it is mostly PvE for now.

Go Swordsman. They are the PvE Kings. You'll also be able to go in the Geo caves and come out still as fresh as a daisy. TKA was more of a PvP profession, but theneveryone finally got smart and ruined that. Besides, 2 damage types > 1.5 (I heard that the schems for the Heat VK were taken out of the game temporarily).

If the choice was mine to make out of the two given I'd Pick Swordsmen also. I plan on eventually going swordsman (already have my scythe) once i have my fill of fencer.

Go with swordsman. I'm currently doc 0440, and can buff myself for 2146. I'm alost master swordsman. You get two damage types. You can do alot of soloing. With my scyth, I can take on 6 rancors and wipe the lair out in about 60secs. It took me about an hour to take down a nightsister elder (with powerhammer). I've cleared out the force crystal caves. Soon, I will try the geo caves, and then the corvette.

Im master swordsman and almost master doc. And i have to agree. Doc/Swordsman is a great combo. Your a tank in pve, and the geno cave is a heck of a lot of fun with this combo.

I just dropped Swordman for Doc 
I'm Master Rifleman / Master Doc now ...
Swordsman is great overall in PvE, and you are never just a tank... nightsisters and geocaves can be soloed easily as a swordsman (watch out for the elders though), but there are few professions that come close to the power of a rifleman at 50 - 60m distance...
TK is excellent if you want quick money, you will run mokk / janta missions in no time at all and easily make a few 100K an hour...
Downside is, for anything more difficuly you are pretty much just a tank.
So, the choice depends on what you want to do... my 2 cents anyways...
