My template is M.DE / M.Artisan and M.Doctor. I wouldn't consider changing it for DWB runs. I definitely recommend that one.

I was asked to go down their to make a few things, and asked if I could pick any healing up.
My problem with it was, don't the mobs now aggro the healers, and at level 82 those SBDs will still one shot kill you right? So to me it seems like suicide to pick up doctor.

Yes, it would be suicide to pick doc and try to heal yourself down there.
Here's the thing. As long as you have a good group to go down there with, it doesn't matter what your combat profession is. As long as you have the CL54 you should be fine. I've made my fair share of DWB runs with a great group who know that place up and down, and we make it through everytime.
That being said, I think the best crafter's template for the DWB would be MDE/MA/MRifle. That allows you to provide backup support w/o drawing too much aggro. Oh, and bring stimpacks.

I can heal myself just fine. No one-shot kills down there for a guy wearing decent energy battle armor. More importantly, I add something to the group besides being a crafter.They don't need more damage-dealing, that's what the 6-7 Jedi are for, but rezzing...well, bad things can happen quickly down there and you can save your whole group from having to clone.

hey guys and gals, appologies in advance but this is a temp question.
I have been a MDE for along time, was my first mastered prof and when the DWB was released i picked it up to be my DWB toon.
Pre-CU the toons template was MDE/M Artisan/ M Swords. This worked very well down there at the time as it had some nice defenses and things didnt aoe agro too much.
I have kept the template upto now, but after Thursdays DWB, my cl 54 crafter getting shot with some aoe attacks and prompty dieing mid craft on a jetpack* (thus failing the craft and loosing the parts 
) I think i need a temp change.
) I think i need a temp change. So after this "event/cockup" I am stuck between two templates:
MDE/Mart/tkm
or
MDE/Mart/Mdoc
The tkm has pwr boost and higher melee defenses, but the mdoc could heal okay should i come under fire, plus can wear battle armour (is that better than innate lol), but then again the tkm could drink some ruby and use stim c's.
So you see my predicement, what do you guys rekon?
* Group positioning in the crafting room has been altered to a better location but for peice of mind and as a precaution i am changing the template
