Sorry to hear that
CM is really far less popular in PvP now thanks to the changes not long ago. Since the only real defense this template has is offense, you really just have to kite everything. If you can't help getting Dizzy/KD, you may want to look into 'temploiting'(dabbling in other professions just for defense)or Doctor.
Though the best thing, in my opinion, is to forget about PvP altogether at least until the revamp. JTLwill be here before long(next month?) and Battlefront is available now. As flawed as the system for SWG PvP is now, it's not really worth it. There are many other things to do for fun out there.

Fencer 0/4/0/0 works pretty good, they have massive defense vs. KD

Get the Techniques line of Pistoleer. It's the best "defense vs. states" line in the whole game. Massive bonuses for a relatively small investment.

Keep the template, long enough to learn how best to use it. That'd be my advise. Dropping one of those masteries after a single fight is premature IMHO. That may not be FotM anymore, but it's still a deadly skill combination. Doctors are the only ones able to stop your diseases, and for the moment mind is the only unhealable pool,making rifleman a great choice to compliment CM. I'd tryanti-KD foods, and giving yourself some time to get used toyour new template. Good Luck =)

yeah take up 4040 Doc and u dont have to worry about states or dots anymore
also for a KD/dizzeyed macro i have this
/stand;
/healstate dizzy;
/stand;
just keep spamming it untill u get it. CM you might consider dropping, since the recent nerfs and now it seems 1/2 the people are docs for pvp anymore =P

You could try finding a good chef also and getting some "Thakitillo". The stuff I'm using has the following stats:
Def v Knockdown +100.224
Duration 12m 36s
Filling 44
While you will still get dizzied, you should be a lot harder to knockdown.

I agree with the above posters that thakitillo may be worth your time. I carry 3 lines, a 35 fill, 75 kd defense (which is the only one I use), a 40 fill, 90 kd defense, and a 45 fill, 90kd defense with longer duration. Your other option for preventing dizzy/kd is stopping the dizzy by using ithorian mist, but it's a drink so you have to give up a brandy which many are reluctant to do.
Oh, and don't forget to kite - with your template, you are a hang at the back and run run run type of guy, which is fine, you just have to get good at it.
