Anecdotal at points, but Dashl you might find it interesting.

I used Force leap, slash, strike, cauterize, and sweep. Didn't hit Zen or any of the buffs. Didn't use Master Strike or Overload saber either. I did still crit/heal on a few of my strike hits, and that gave me a heal debuff, but not the bad debuffs. The first time we fought a few weeks ago, I did everything like I normally do. I came in last, but I didn't see all the crazy debuffs that time. I think the last patch had a few stealth nerfs in it, like how the Heroic 4's on Belsavis have all the slows that get put on you. A few weeks ago those didn't exist.

Hrm. With combat I came in 2nd among the DPS. Which means absolutely jack shit because that encounter is so... WEIRD. But combat IS perfectly viable (in general) if you are interested in trying it.

I thought about trying a hybrid spec I have been reading about. 19/0/22, Watchman/Focus spec. Tons of posts making fun of it, but a lot of people seem to enjoy it. Looks pretty crazy though, and you lose the big hit out of the Watchman tree. Probably more for PvP or just running around, don't think I would take that into an Op.
