Tanilith you were right, she did beat me, but her mind was very low when my force was gone, if i had used my holocron i wold have easily beaten her.
Danluf I've been reading this whole thread and read your post saying you could beat her etc.
They changed our force speed from +25 to +20
Thyroid Rupture has -40 Combat speed.
Nerf the -40 Combat Speed Debuff and all this goes away. And we will be able to put more damage on them faster.
always good to have ithorian mist and poison resist food i believe its havla now..can't remember...but the mist and poison food help with the absorbtion so you don't tic as high as well as making it harder for him to hit the dots..but i know what you mean...a master combat medic can get 12point suits farely easy and get several resource kits and make uber dots....along with accuracy and speed attachments and double capped elite carbine with good powerups...he can be a very very hard opponent...especially the ab slice...its kinda stacked against ya.....but imo bh/cm's are on a level playing field with jedi along with doc/swords combos we're not greater than any of those professions imo....

you cannot beat someone who knows the MBH / MCM temp well , you simply cannot outdamage their healing / mind regen ( even with perfect lightsabers)
the best you can do is run
If you keep thinking this you will let them beat you, I have fought many and have yet to die and a few were pretty challenging but I know their weakness and used it to my advantage.

With your template the obvious weakness is the lack of ability to heal DOT's. My template is fairly similar, but one thing I learnt pre CU is the the Healer xxx4 tree is invaluable, even if it costs a lot of points. The Enhancer resist tree is not enough to rely on to protect you from DOT's. CM's will apply Bleed's and Poison and Fire, the first two are the most annoying they tick away while you are fighting, get rid of two and you dont need to worry about fire.. Healer xx4x just plain and simple, isn't worth it IMO
The tactics you could have used would have been making sure that his Armor is broken, even with a 75% AB slice you can still do it. Don't waste your action or force on trying to get the big hits in. KD the BH, and apply Bleeds yourself, I hear that you can stack up to 5 bleeds. Use stasis to take a pause in the fight, it lasts 45 seconds, when your saber goes off, sit down, but keep an eye on the timer (run past 80m if you have to and if they have ranged arms).
My common is mistake is taking the fight to the BH, let them bring it to you. I have noticed that many BH's apply the DOT's and then you are forever running after them. As soon as they run, turn the other way and run out of range, let them come to you.
I got cocky yesterday against a good BH on Farstar, I had had one about 10 minuted before, and won. I assumed the second would be as easy, and I didn't buff up fully, on top of that they used an attack droid. I could have won and I didn't, I messed up, and the BH got the better of me. Just remember, you won't always win, I don't and it doesn't bother me, for more than about 30 minutes or so. 
Lastly even if the opponent is cocky, arrogant, or whatever, congratulate them on a fight well won.
