Personally I would wait until after the CU has gone live and been tweeked. I'm Master Smuggler - Master Pistoleer and I'm just going to sit on it until I find out what they do.

as a master pistoleer how do you find you ability to solo mobs of 10-20k ham?
just likebishop im a fan of pistols personally. i like the look, animations etc and the points it would leave me for medic or other skills would be nice, but im concered that i wouldnt be able to kill an awful lot as i hear alot of complaints from pistoleers about their abilities.

I'm Master Smuggler, Master Swordsman, 0043 pistoleer, 0004 TKA
This gives me a little different mix than the standard tk/smug/pistol
The same could be doen tho as a Master Smuggler, Master Rifleman, and some tk and pistol ( i think i would grab the TK in that situation for the close range/melee switch up on mobs though)
SPACE, GCW, PvP, PvE, DWB runs

My template? Most likely an unusual template, but I love it all the same.
My very first and foremost profession has always been Smuggler. I've never not been a Smuggler. I got the game to become one, and I've become a pretty darn good one.
Naturally, though, my template has to wrap around my Smugglerhood, which gives me... not so many points to work with.
I used to be a Master Smuggler / Master Droid Engineer. Then a few weeks ago I tried out Master Smuggler / Master Pikeman.
After some studious study, I realized that I wasn't complimenting my Smuggler nature with these professions at all, so I dropped everything but Master Smuggler, and... Took up Image Designer!
That's right. I don't fight much 'cause the combat engine, in my eyes, romps the big one, and I don't have the time or will to manage harvesters, factories, and bajillions of tiny little itty bitty crated objects.
So now I'm the greatest Smuggler in all the Galaxy. I can do my business wherever I please, security cameras or no, because I can simply alter my appearance to Smuggle another day.
Long live an easy credit earned.

I have an odd template I think but I like it
Master Smuggler
Master Pistoleer
Soon to be Rebel Alliance Master Pilot
Artisan 0-0-4-0
Novice Merchant
Scout 4-0-2-0
Odd but I have my reasons. I love smuggler and pistoleer, and cant wait for the revamp. *Prays for more content* Also with novice merchant I have 3 vendors at my disposal. 1 for spices, one for smuggler supplies and 1 for loot. Scout Exploration 4 give me mobility and harvesting 1 just enough to gather what I need for my spices. Buying a couple harvesters and using novice artisan I can harvest my own resources and thus, with the exception of armor and weapons, I am completely self suffiecent. Probably not gonna be soloing any high level mobs, but I find enough enjoyment dropping Stormtroopers. This template is fun and keeps me enjoying the game.

Master Smuggler, Master Rifle, Novice Pistol (for the blaster), Artisian for the vendors.
Can't say that there is any great over-arching plan for my template... just liked rifles and needed to spend the other points on something.

If you're not concerned w/ being a master smug I would recommend 4040 smug as a base. it gives all the flavor But cuts out the fat so to speak. Anyway, I have been a triple master, a tkm /fencer I and now am a smug /commando. I am going to add scout, specifically terrain negotiation, but also for harvesting. I'm loving my latest template, as I figured I would, but the CU could change everything. Find something you like in the game and do it.

That's what I'm doing.
Master Smuggler, Master Rifleman TKA 4/0/0/3 Pistoleer 0/0/0/4
High offense, decent defense, same origninal Smuggler taste.

thanks for the suggestions all 
really appreciate it. im leaning the master smuggler master rifle route atm for the sheer power of the rifle but also considering a pistoleer/tk build so i can use that lovely looking DE10

master rifles/master smuggler works VERY well with tka 4000 for the meditation... add some Scout skills to that(or medic, but i prefer not to be hindered by aggro-beasties(mask scent)) and u got a nice solo-PvE template... i solo NS(non-elder/stalker/spellweaver) and in PvP, u got a nice mindhit(which, according to SOE, will no longer be the most important PvPstat it is now) and if ur in trouble: feign
hardly any use for smuggler specials then though... well, except for FD
