You could do Master Swordsman/Master Fencer/Master TKA and have 4 points left.

I've got Master Brawler (intimidate2 and a 20m knockdown for every melee weapon), Master Swordsman (AP2 and Blast), Master Fencer (Dodge and Stun damage), and TK 4304 (meditate! and some defenses)

i am master swordsman andmaster doc and i tank elders, krayts, etc. I cant tank sbds. They hit very hard and i lack in ranged defense.Problably the best tanker for something like that is master tka, master pistoleer and some smugler (4-4-4-0) and novice medic. This of course, if you don't care what kind of dmg you will do on the elders, etc. You can tank them, but you cant kill them as a Master TKA.

Remember, no matter how high your defense is, anything from a NS Protector and up will hit you. I'm Master Fencer with all the defense stacks and I think I've been missed maybe once by a NS Elder.
CoB macro always running of course.
I would suggest TKM to the extreme. Their Unarmed-Tougness makes them wonderfull tanks against SBD's and Elders. On our last trip to the Corvette, our one TKM tank took on 2 SBD's at once. Now of course he had master doctor as well which made it easier but he really only had to heal maybe 10 times by the time we took them out.

yes, with this template you have melee mitigation 3 and ranged mitigation 3. Ansd dopnt forget to keep it intimidate. I mean intimidate the elder 10 times in a row.

To be honest making a tank for the highest level npcs/mobs doesn't need to stack defenses. Like someone else said, TKM has a wonderful toughness modifier. I would say TKM/master brawler(for intimidate 2 and warcry 2) and as much doc as that will allow. You are going to get hit by sbd's and krayts and elders whether you have maxxed your defenses or not. They will just hit you for less when you have that unarmed toughness and they are intimidated. With doc you can stim like crazy and heal your states.
Don't forget to use taunt2 whenever they aggro your friends who are doing the damage dealing.
