hardly use pmd, but you all forget the uberness of panicshot, ranged warcry to prevent brawlers form getting near, you, though as a former Desperado trickshot rogue, i can say,,, no defenses mean kd dixxy pretty much when they hit.. nad thats not good. thats why i went back to master smuggler pistoleer, with A bit of medic for fun.

Last ditch has the same multiplier as Stopping shot, both of which are 4.0. The real bonus to Last ditch is it can also add the stun effect. since you're capped, Last ditch is much better than stopping shot for the stun. Pistol whip and last ditch is downright funny when smacking rebels to perdition.
Low blow is very good ranged knockdown, it actually hits alot in my experience. even knocked a canyon krayt over once, but never again lol.
Panic shot is actually my fave, it's a mild AoE shot the can delay several mobs in one shot for 10 seconds.
With buffs, feign death is far better than any amount of medic for healing IMO. Hit FD, go to the john, come back, all healed and ready for another beer. Just be mindful that FD in pvp could lead to a whole world of black bar goodness.
I also like the added bonus of being able to slice my own containers without being a smuggler. Sure it's mostly crap, but I got a pistol acc +4 once, and I get all my clothes this way too 
. I might also drop my novice commando and get terminal slicing for the mission payout bonus. A bit of a perk when pulling missions when I'm harvesting meat for docs.

Low blow has a x6 damage multiplier, not x4.
Stopping Shot has a x5 damage multiplier.

The pistol lines in Smuggler is what keeps me PvP'ing.
Feign Death- The ability to avoid getting ganked. A caution when loading into a high fighting area overt, such as theed or coreillia.
Panic Shot- The ability to delay someone 10 seconds in a fight. This is very valuable, to those of us who are CM's, or to those of us with nice DoT's on our weapons.
LowBlow- The ability to posture change someone is also very helpful, and it does not always seem to work as well as panic shot, it still works on occasion, and can save u from death, if you can successfully Kite a melee stacker.
Last Ditch- I never has used this skill, nor do I have it learned. No Skill points left, so It leaves me kinda screwed.
Hope this info helps.
