i think its when a doc sets up a macro where he duels someone, kills them, and then rezs them..then keeps doing it over and over

In terms of FS xp/minute (rough calculations in my head mind you) its second fastest to doing Nades. Its a bit annoying since you really need an alt thats also FS to be able to do it with any kind of speed, and it can only be done the first three phases since you're converting so quickly.
I do it on my Doc character, it isn't too bad.

Grinding trees using doctor is by far the easiest. The only problem is it takes 153 trips to the village for converting xp.
So buffing in MO/Cnet will cap you in about 5 minutes now. Once your capped you have to travel to the village, which is a 5 minute trip each way, so 10 minutes each time. You end up spending more time traveling than 'playing your profession'. And god help you if you have to do it during phase 4 (all but Infinity are in phase 1 atm). Once the sith have spawned you can all but forget about talking to paemos until most of them are killed off.

This method is used to fill the Heightened Senses tree, which is supposedly the fastest way, you cant use nades xp for this, only non combat stuff, like medic, scout, dancing, etc..

You stand corrected. Combat medic is by far faster xp. I do 6 minute turns on med xp.
Takes 1-2 min to find large group of whatever outside the village (blomas are the best so far)
Shoot lair
Throw area poisons, group of 10=5000 xp per toss
1 minute Cap med xp
1 minute to return and i always give a min to shake agro (phase 4 sucks)
1-2 min of play time (no one is perfect)
Rinse and repeat
Sometimes I stay in the village to help out, I will stick poisons on every thug and outlaw i can get to. and heal whoever i can. It's way easier to cap quickly with Combat Medic than Doc.
My template is:
MCM
Doc 0,4,4,4
Marksman 4,0,1,4
SprayStick is the weapon of choice 200 Dam, 1.0 Speed
I got 1,000,000 FS xp in a day and a half.
is alot easier than doc

Do you know what the xp is based on when throwing poison, is it the strength of the poison or level of the target? In other words can you craft some crap area poisons and use or do you have to buy top-of-the-line poisons. If you have to buy them then this method is really expensive, atleast on my server where area poison cost roughly 10k and a cap is half to a complete stim.
But on the other hand 'nading isn't cheap either, for combat xp. 
But I agree, I tried it, it was very fast. Especially since I have basically the same template as you and killing, even a defenceless, player is hard with rifles 4.
