I've read this thread and thought I'd weigh in a couple of things.
Firstly, I agree that Powers against another Jedi with Enhancer or Defender will get you either absolutely nowhere (Defender) or killed (Enhancer with Feedback). However, I would add that Powers against a non-Jedi is very nasty. Add a little Lightsaber (0404 or 0400, for example) and you should have a more than fair chance against a BH. (note: I've been Powers pre-CU and I'm currently MLS MP).
Secondly, it seems to me that you want a more front-line template. I'm not arguing with you - the Dev's did indeed allow SonG to tell us that Powers was to be considered as a viable damage-dealing alternative to LS. What they failed to mention and has become increasingly apparent is that Powers ability to deal damage is very situational. As mentioned above, Powers can be a very powerful tool against a non-Jedi but against another Jedi it becomes problematic depending one the opposing Jedi's template. Of you indeed want a more front-line Powers Jedi, then go MLS+MP+heal 4400 or MP+MD. The viability of the first is in doubt following the Pub 24 changes - we'll just ahve to see how it pans out in Live.
Finally, I would also add that Powers received a significant boost to damage in the old FRS, and a high-ranked Powers Jedi was a very nasty opponent. Maybe (ok, BIG maybe) Powers will receive similar love in the new FRS...
