Personally, I am, at present, a TKA Master.
But, I will be dropping that as well as my CH to work up fencing again. Gah, what a pain.
My Current plan:
Master Swordsman, Master TKA, CH3211
My Future Plan (already started, had 300k Combat Exp):
Master Swordsman, Master Fencer, TKA-4004, Scout-3030

TKM is good for PVE until you run into something that has a high kinetic resistance, then you have to move on to something else. I think the combat balance may change things for TKs because nowthat Jedi sabers are doing lightsaber damage and not kinetic, I think TKs will have a tougher time soloing things like Nightsisters because their kinetic resistance will probably skyrocket now that the devs don't have to cater to Jedi by keeping some NPCs low in kinetic resistances.

In PVP, Fencer is much better then TKA, simply because most people have very high Kinetic Armor.
In PVP, it really depends, both have great defenses, but the Fencer comes out a little ahead defensivly. Offensivly the TKA will win usually if the mob has low kinetic resistance, although a good Ackley would be close. TKM's hit very well though and have the best knockdown.
As somebody already said, if something is resistant to Kinetic, a TKM is in trouble. A Fencer has Stun at least.
Something else to remember about TKA is also their other features. The ability to heal Bleeds, Poisens, Disease, and Wounds is priceless. So is automatically coming back from an Incap, half healed with Force of Will, plus Power Boost. These all make a TKA very usefull.
I choose the best of both worlds, I'm a Master Fencer with 4301 in TKA. Don't get locked into "Mastering" a profession, boxes are what matter.

i have to agree. i have been really debating this. i might do master fencer doc. there is just way more moves too. you can slow a persons action regen, and a few others. TKM just doesn't have what it takes to be FUN. i know its a tank. whoopy !@#$%^& do who just wants to sit there and get pounded. thats not FUN. and now that its double XP week i'm really thinking about it. Plus armor is going to be better then innate armor espically after slicing. i mean we only get 6k and after slicing average will be 8k. TKM GOT screwed.

i loved this when i had it, master swordsman/master doc/tka 0400 for improved CoB and a good knockdown attack, with swordsman power and better defense then fencer, youll have much more success with this combo, action drains about as fast with fencer and you dont hit as hard, however there are some pretty cool weapons for fencer, but youll be more successful with swords, just make you you take advantage of the best part of tk, and get 0400 tka with whatever you choose, youll thank me, its worth it

I mean I really Like tkm but I want to include watever melee profession i get with master doc which only leaves me able to master one and add one skill tree to another. Currently i am master doc tkm swords 0040 but I sorta wanted to do fencer for the large variety of the pwnage weapons I mean once the smuggler thing is fixed fencer swords will be able to do alota dmg with good speed but I don't want to give up tka innate armor and I am not dropping doc
