I've soloed one Elder in my short career as a Master Rifleman, but I was unable to pull her away from her friends, so they killed me shortly after I grabbed the loot (not even worth it either)...how can I pull her away without her aggroing so i can't use conceal anymore or despawning?

Run to 80m, let first bleed tick. Then she will aggro without bringing her friends.

best way i found is to make sure that she is the only one within your 64m range,
move around to get into the best position. me not good with words.
if you so choose, conceal away until she gets down to a couple hits left.
stand up, eat some parawan nutricake or terrain biscuits just in case.
hit her she will aggro, as long as you're over 64m out from the others they won't aggro too.

Hit with both bleeds. Then pull back. I would recommend 120m just in case. Rinse and repeat.
And make sure you are prone when you fire off those MindShots.

Waste, I don't follow why you need to hit a 2nd bleed on her? I've never had a problem with just 1 bleed. No matter really, just found it interesting the recommendation to do both - I guess you need to kill her anyways, so if you're going mind damage and you use bleedsyou may as well. I personally think that bleed damage is so minimal that counting on it to do anything for you is inconsequential when you could be headshotting/dotting, but that's just playstyle.

You don't have to. But as you state, you will get some bleed damage to help out. My thinking is you might as well hit with both and let them tick. It's just a little extra damage but you never know when that will be useful.

Ok this is how i do my elders.
walk near them /kneel/mindshot2/peace then walk about 80m or so away...
Now heres the exciting part 
so im grouped with my squadleader parked in the science outpost, i set him on a retreat macro that gives me infinate burst run and set a form up macro up. So all i so is once she attacks me i just start runnin wp the spawn so not to loose it and run in a oval or circle staying about 40-50m away from the elder. So just run like hell and kite alot, i normaly use strafeit kills her faster than mind hits.

So just run like hell and kite alot, i normaly use strafeit kills her faster than mind hits.In the end it takes from 4-5minutes per elder, in my last buff i mannaged to kill a wopping 13 elders, out of the entire day i was hunting them... ohh about 4 hours i killed a total of 21! 
MY BEST TIP IS GROUP WITH A SQUAD LEADER
Its by far the most priceless thing you could have.
My temp rifles/4440medic/novicebrawler/pistol tech line
My alts temp is master doc/1023 squad leader
Best thing i have ever done for myself so that i can solo any mob in the game.

I would not count on that working for muchlonger. But it sounds interesting. Did you have fun as a a SL, or do you just use SL to help kill elders?

I count on it working as long asI can keep running 2 accounts at once and as long as squad leader has the retreat comandI will never loose, I have my sl for anything sinceI can use a retreat macro and a formupsoI never get dizzy. The only bad this is that the squad only has a 5270meter range... tested it last night killing dark jedi knights.
For all uber pve'rs i advise you to use a squad leader or get a sl alt
