The reason I decided not to go with this template wasn't force pool, it was regen and lack of damage output. I knew I'd need speed and accuracy CA's for sabers, since it was my only source of damage output, but that means no robes to make up for regen, and it was too low. I considered a different line of powers (lightning would be nice), but then I saw how low my accuracy would be with a single line and I decided the skill points could be better spent (especially with the expected nerf to cloak). I think a dabbler profession can be very viable in PvE, especially since most PvE of substantial challenge is handled in groups anyway, but with all the uber goobers out there running FOTM templates for PvP godness, you'd have a very difficult time competing. It can be done with the right strategies, but you have to bear in mind that they can take all the same foods,and buy the attachments and all that other stuff too. The five skill tree setup for Jedi almost forces you to decide if you want damage output or defense, because it's difficult to have any worthwhile blend. You almost have to be a tank that can't hurt anything, or a nuke that can't take a hit. Personally, if I were looking at your template I'd probably drop sabers (thereby nullifying the need for pearls), master Powers and drop to maybe 3402 enhancer/ 4000 healer to free up the skill points. Choke bypasses armor, and even if they nerf cloak you'll still have it, plus the area KD and Intimidate, plus the accuracy and speed, plus the force pool and regen. Whatever you decide on, good luck with it and have fun
Your "dream template" has enough skill points left over to get MEnh
My template is LS 0404 / MEnh / Heal 4000 / Def 0040 / Pow 0400. Pretty high fun factor, offense about equal to a MLS w/o Force Speed (assuming equal sabers), and defense only 200 points shy of a Master Defender, at a Force cost, though.
