All that i can say so far of post-curb pikeman is OMG!
It is excellent.
I have a TKM/Pikeman template with some doctor and i have found the game just as solo'able as pre-curb.
All levels of NS are still very easy to take down including the elders/spell weavers/protectors etc and pvp is awesome, i am genuinly un-defeated in duels with this template thus far. My three jedi knight duels ended with one win and two stoppages through booredom on both sides with both having full bars of every kind after 5 minuits.
Its all about learning what the specials do and working out a good combo of them.
I only have regular armourbreak from brawler but i assure you, this is one of, if not THE most important special that you can employ in pvp especially against jedi.
I wont reveal the combos i use but remember to keep advanced cob on at all times (if you dont have it, WHY dont you have it? its essential) and keep them stunned for -10% damage and intimed for -20% (or is it 30? i forget) and use armourbreak before attacking.
Melee is still the awesome damage dealer it was post curb, the number of dissapointed bh's with higher dps weapons than my'n has been very very entertaining 
What do you all think of the post-curb pikeman now you've experimented a bit ?
Any tips for your fellow pikeman ?

Would master brawler go well with the TKM / Master Pike temp?I don't really see the need for doc in my temp.

In the whole scheme of things mob names don't mean jack post cu.
Really the question should be, what is the highest LEVEL con that you have soloed.
What level are elders, now...

You have the exact temp I have if you combined it with Doc 4000, I would go doc 2200 but right now CM's havent been a problem and dont needtoo do that yet.
I definetly think this is one of the better temps out their, acutally any melee temp combined with TKM is pretty damn tough. I also find that armor break still sticks pretty good too.

I was a doctor for a really long time. Basically all of my templates had 4/4/4/0 doctor, but I quit the game about 5 months ago and when I did, I was starting TKA and had 4/4/4/0 doctor and 4/4/0/4 CM (or whatever one doesn't have the crafting line). I came back and don't really feel like being a doctor. So...I'm going with M-Brawler M-Pike M-Swordsman 4/0/3/4 fencer. Haven't gotten there yet as I'm starting over on Ahazi when I was on Bloodfin (couldn't transfer as I was FS). So...I don't know as to how it's going to play, but it looks good on paper.

Obviously you guys don't have any FS training completed.
I am Master Fencer/Master Pike/Brawler 4444 and a 4400 TK. ( love having the meditate)
In hunts, I am unstoppable with close to 300 melee defense and a slight trailing range defense.
While in PVP I can't heal much without my Stim D's, I can't imagine having anything else.
But I also have in FS 0044 in Combat Prowess and 4400 in Enhanced Reflexes......
So, when I keep moving up, I will have to give up some. Just don't know yet, probably the second row of TK.

What's better to get? 0/0/0/4 on swords for critical strike, or some doc =/?
