I can walk up to a squad of stormtroopers and tear them to pieces with a vibroknuckle, yet when I equip a pistol that same squad would have me dead in seconds. I understand thats just how it works, but I notice a lot of the melee professions have a basic melee defense skill that doesnt appear to apply only to a specific weapon.
So, if I took several melee professions to supplement master tka and progressed in such a way to give me only +melee defense, would I become a better fighter?

As long as no one with a rifle or a good pistol attacks you cus your ranged defenses will suck. Also, there is this little thing called CURB coming up that will change everything...

Melee Damage Mitigation and Ranged Damage Mitigation, along with Melee Defence and Range Defence are currently not dependant on a certain type of weapon being equiped.
You are losing your unarmed toughness though when youequip a pistol which is probably why they are tearing you apart, also if you use COB then that wont work either when you equip a pistol so you will get hit more Often.
As a TK your Range Defence is actually ok, put it this way Master TK has a Range Defence of 45 and a Master Pistoleer only has a Ranged Defence of 7 - but its the Dodge and Range Damage Mitigation 3 which make up for it for a Pistoleer.
If you want to stay Melee and boost your Range Defences, try pickup up Pistoleer 0-0-4-0 that way you will have some nice Def vs Mods and Range Damage Mitigation 2 which will take 40% out of any Range Damage you recieve.
But as has been said this will probably all change with the curb.
