Go doc, at least 4-0-4-0. Why? Because you can cure posion/disease, heal states like dizzy and stun, heal yourself for over 1.4k and buff yourself.
With pikeman 4-0-1-2 and my 166 str mind posion wood staff I was able to drag a duel out with a Fencer stacker for quite some time and would have beat him if I had my stun armor on me 
A tip for healing while in combat: create a macro and put /ui action clearCombatQueue then whatever you want to heal. This lets you heal right away without waiting for the queue to clear of whatever attacks you may have stacked up on it.

I'm a Master Pike/Swordsman/Brawler, with Fencer defences and TKA meditation. I like the combo because I can switch between my VL/LVA and I can use the PH for NS. The combo with some mods (aakuan rings and light weight backpack) gives you really high ranged and mele defense, and the master brawler abilities are incredibly helpful (WC2, Intim2, speed).
The only lacking thing from this is the state defenses that you get from fencer and tka, and sometimes the inability to stim yourself can be bad although I've found that I don't really need to heal myself since I can just warcry2 and let the ham bars pickup.
I haven't really tried this template out for PvP but for PVE so far it looks good. I'm looking forward though to unleashing my 94% potency mind fire (230str) and 59% potency -1 use mind poison (300str).

can't buff yourself with 4040 in doc sorry
Hehe I said at least 4-0-4-0 Doc, which is better than 0-4-4-0 doc IMO even tho you'd have to pay for buffs. The ability to heal states and cure poisons and diseases increases your ability to survive tenfold.

My main experience come from PvE, not from PvP.
I would suggest getting Master Brawler beucase it is really helpful. Also, try to get as many defenses as you can. All defenses like Melee and Ranged and Block are stacked at 125, so don't go above that (I don't know about the dizzy defenses and such). Meditation line from TKA is VERY useful, as is it's Defense (Combat XP) line along with Fencer Defense Line.
And if you want to be VERY strong in PvE, go for Master Swordsman also. The you can take almost every mob in the game solo. Even SBD will bow before you (ehm, if you manage to drag no more than 1 at you).

I have to agree with this. When I had master brawler, I loved Pikeman even more. Our range was better and the intimidate and warcry specials were awesome.
