I'm working on the Smuggler tree right now and was just wondering what specials from the smuggler or marksman tree you guys use for normal damage? I'm not going to pick up pistoleer so I'll just be using the Smuggler specials. I've mostly been alternating Placed Shot and Quickdraw, is this a good strategy?

Ranged shot on Auto attack, Sounds silly I know but honestly there isn't much difference between ranged shot and quickdraw aside from the action drain that quickdraw has. The damage difference is hardly noticable.

I tend to use a combo of advanced critical shot from BH, and Advanced reckless shot from smuggler (defense debuff is pretty much negated with a duelist stance). Its nice for killing thos damn paddys. I have plain old Ranged Shot as my auto attack as its the only one that doesnt noticably reduce my action bar.
Concussion shot (although broken) is really nice for controlling multiple enemies as it is reusable pretty quick. Me (lvl 80 master smug/master bh/some pistols) using rengade pistol and my rifleman buddy (lvl 58 master rifleman) using his assault bowcaster can comfortably take down around 5 or so level 82 melee opponents using my crowd control with some damage and him concentrating on hitting hard. Havent done enough ranged pve yet to figure out what works well there, and with lowblow not working im fairly sure ill be pretty ineffective.
When i trained smuggler (long time pre curb) i found having some pistoleer a neccesity, but that was mostly for the healthshot2 bleed, cert for a nice geo blaster and the melee knockdown, so i cant help too much now im afraid.

The debuff from Reckless shot isn't that bad. At least in PvE I hardly get hit ever.
In PvP I try to not get targeted, if it happens I either get out of the way of the bolts (e.g. around the corner) or go down. I'm not much of a tank at all 
But if I go down I still have a last resort move ^^
