If you master all three healing professions, I believe you get a healing efficiency of 200. How does this affect heals? It would seem that almost double (over MD) the efficiency would be handy.
Are there any MD/MCM in the post-CU world? It would seem that you basically make yourself a pure healer (with very limited offensive capabilities). I would assume a better choice, if you want MCM/MD it to skip master medic and get some additional marksman skills. Never the less, I'm interesting in hearing what kind of healing you can get with this combo and is you still are able to solo mobs of your level (i.e within 1-2 levels of yourself).
I have no doubt that this gives extreme longevity but killing would be slow.
Edit:
Also, MD/MTKA seems like a pretty good tank-combo, perhaps with swordsman for area taunt. healing + taunt/area taunt + selfbuffing + HoT + COB => hard to kill...

Doesn't help much at all.
At one time before respec ended, I was MD/MCM/MM and saw little gain from it. I eventually respeced into master rifles/master doc.
I like that template, as I can actually BE a tank, deal lots of damage, and heal lots of damage at the same time.

In my eyes.....the ability to stay alive until you run out of mind is not worth a credit if you can't defend yourself when you need to. With a pure healing template you really have to be in a group of people that know how to play their roles, otherwise you will almost always be the first to go down.
I personally didn't like the template, because the defense's weren't enough, my attack damaged sucked, I hate ranged professions, and I just didn't like it. But thats just me....I'm a Doctor first and foremost, but I like the fact I can defend myself and tank when the need arises.

That's pretty much what I figured. Way back when I used to be a MD/MCH. This was a support role in that the pets tanked, I healed and buffed and.. solo play sucked badly.
I have played with MCM for a while and frankly the healing efficiency when solo playing is pretty bad. The long refresh timer on the heals (and do they share a timer even?) makes the healing over time pretty lackluster. Doctor has MUCH better healing abilities (except in optimal area heal situations, which I find tends to be 'area-ask-to-be-killed' situations rather).
I sometimes wish I didn't have the FS skills sitting and eating up my skillpoints. They are nerfing my ability to more freely make a template.
Currently MCM/MRifle/0003 pistol and the rest in FS skills.
