It's a powerful template, one that I believe will remain powerful as time goes on.
It's only real weakness is the lack of medic skills.

What lack of medic skills, dont get yourself killed in combat, then med, if you do get capped bring yourself back. If you are a zabrak, just vitalize or whatever it is. Pretty easy stuff, dont bite off more then you can chew.

I can't count how many times novice medic has saved my life or the lives of my group members. Underestimate it at your own risk.

Watched a TKM duel a Jedi Knight the other day for5 minutes before the Knight got the best of him. Not sure what the TKM's medic skills were, but they weren't near doctor level and they kept him in the fight. To his credit(or the screwed up nature of combat in the game) the TK would have had the Knight if it weren't for the healing all states and healing all damage abilities of the Jedi. The TK had him whipped off the bat and the Jedi was doing 2 heals to every 1 heal of the TKM. So I'm rethinking my current template to include medic skills possibley. As for when I was a triple master I enjoyed it. Awesome defenses, awesome damage with TK, decent-poor damage with pistols, but with pistols you also have many damage types. FD is a life saver, but won't pull you out of every jam with npcs and mobs that have disappeared into the horizon popping back up as soon as you stand. The thing that bothered me most about this template was the lack of terrain negotiation, it drove me NUTS!!! Ever go hunting on Dathomir with no scout?

I'm a variation of the triple master, but I have fencer defenses instead of master pistoleer. There are onlytwo things I miss: First aid for bleeds, and terrian negotiation. Been thinking about dropping pistoleer altogether and getting some medic skills instead, but those state defenes sure are nice...
Only bad part is that if something has over 80% or so Kinetic resists on it, I might as well not even bother. Sure I could pull out a pistol, but my speed is so horrible that it's not worth it.

I'm loving the Triple Master. Haven't had Medic skills since shortly after I started the game, and really haven't missed them. Haven't really needed to heal in combat (and I'm not often grouped, being the loner type) and TKA Meditate is great for all after-combat heaing (except BF, but you gotta have some reason to go watch the dancing girls, eh? 
). As for terrain negotiation, it was a help early in the game before mounts and vehicles, but I've got a bike now, and a pistol for the runners, so who needs it?

The worst part of this particular triple crown is lack of medic skills and terrain negotation. But...lol I only die in PvP, but that is cause I am not a big PvPer, and PvE when I am being stupid and not paying attention.

I'm Master Smuggler, Master Pistoleer, 4034 TKA, 2000 Medic
I refuse to rely on buffs for hunting, because why rely on other people who won't always be available?
As such, I'm killing red conn stuffwhile only having900 health, 900 action, 700 mind and 2 brandies. (maybe a powerboost if I have time). This requires I have medic skills or else I would be incapped more than I am standing. And I keep the Neutron Pixie on hand just in case of an emergency. I still consider my medic skills important, to thepoint that if my stim pack is used up in combat I will either feign until I'm fully healed, or jump on my bike and retreat until I can break aggro and pull another stim from the crate.

The Triple Master is a very well rounded and powerful template, but there have been times Novice Medic or limited Scout (Terrain Negotiation) have been a huge bonus. If you fight in a group then you might want to consider Novice Medic unless you generally have a Medic or two fighting with you. Otherwise it is pretty much about the same either way.

Im also thinking about going triple master but i want to know if maybe i should just keep master TKA and master PISTOLS and instead of maxing smuggler maybe go 0440 and keep medic 1040 around? I want to be effective in PVP and PVE. I think taking pistols over fencer is the way to go you geta more roundedplayer that way IMO.
Also,
With medic i see lots of people going 2000. why would do that?
