Remember that force regen is borked right now.

the ranged defense line is not needed as ranged defense does melee professions no good at all
Yeah but it gives you the extra force armor. And I'm currently 4-3-4-0 def. and I can tank pretty good with just that.
When I completed my temp last night this was part of my make up and range def 4 was the last piece, I was only taking 9 more damage then a master def against the same pikets. That is of course with vegesperine in my system. With aura on and the jedi armor, it is actually quite nice. and when you are fighting something with an armor break special, the defenses can help stave some of the damage until the effect wears off. Also with advanced heals andimproved speed, you can tank quite a bit. The problem is, you have to think about whether the template you are using if for grinding or high level kills? We use different skills in grinding a spin group vs fighting something one on one (i.e. BH) Force armor would be a nice supplement to the 4040 def for higher level kills like anything 84 and above. It is all about play styles though. On the flip side, 4440 def is less management of your defensive buffs...I am lazy, I don't like to mess with much for my defenses, so my template works for me.
If you were to stick with force armor, my idea would be to stick with the force armor add it with 4040 def and once you are ready for something different, go find someplace to farm holos so you can have a bunch on you in a tight spot.
