so far have not found any significant difference with or without the pistol defenses. Are pistloeer defenses broken or its there but im fighting the wrong things to notice?

Have been wondering if i should drop what pistoleer skill i have and commit to master brawler. thoughts?

The only bonus I think you get right now is ranged mitigation 3

All your melee, ranged and state defences should stack, but Dodge will only work with a pistol equipped. Whether that works or not, I'll defer to someone who has done more testing.

The melee and ranged defences should stack as has been said. They're all that does though, still I plan on getting them (being a smuggler i have the prereqs) and they should make a difference.

melee/ranged defense, def vs stun/blind/kd/dizzy/posture(down) will stick

dodge only works w/ pistol or fencer weapon equipped.

It may stack, it may not. It definitely stacked a week or twoago.. but some people figured out combinations that made them unhittable (TKM+MRifle+Fencer). Rumor around is that they it was stealth-changed last week but this is not confirmed. Regardless it seems clear that stacking defenses are not working properly right now so I wouldn't make any long term decisions based on them. Making them not stack seems like a logical quick-fix 'till the issue gets addressed in the big combat system changes coming over the next few months.
