Master Pistoleer is definately worth it even with out BH (with the right weapons you can hit at the speed cap, have some of the best state defenses from a single profession, and it stacks very well with many other professions). I wouldn't master the dirty fighting line though, the only really useful skill is feign death. The accuracy you get from both professions is great in PvP. Also, while there are many redundant specials in pistoleer, I don't think it is any more redundant than any other elite profession, they all have 2 or 3 skills that they use the majority of the time. As for broken specials, there is only one that is definately broken (area shot 2, but why would anyone use it anyway?) and a few that are ambiguous as to what they should do and what they actually do (disarming shots 1 and 2, pistol melee defense 2).

With the combat revamp, I hope all professions get at least 5 specials that are all worthy of use at a master level (since the trend is to upgrade specials as you advance in a specific tree).

I would have to disagree. Low Blow (ranged KD) and Last Ditch (6 x damage+stun)are an awesome combination. Nothing in the pistoleer specials can compare. I rarely use any specials from pistoleer, besides fan shot and health shot 2, since getting the Dirty Fighting tree in smuggler.
