Thanks folks! Appreciate the feedback!

I really only started getting into MMO's over the last year or so. For all intents and purposes, I'm a total n00b. I can use all the help/advice/tips I can get.
Let me preface by saying, I suck SO bad, that I'm more interested in PVE versus PVP. (getting curbstomped by opponents every ten seconds is no fun, and I am still not bored of decimating NPC's )
Due to my utter lack of knowledge of class building, I just sort of create characters, and go willy nilly with adding skills, etc. I feel like in general strategy, I do pretty well, but optimizing my toons seems like a no-brainer. That being said...my 1st attempt at BH, I went for the Merc speciality, assuming it would be a good DPS toon. I find myself being sucked into pseudo-healer roles when doing flashpoints and Heroic quests. Healers have never been my strong-suit, but I'd be willing to try it more if I could create a good enough build.
Can folks share their builds for a Merc DPS or DPS/Healer? Is that even a thing?
Any and all advice and/or build specs are welcome. Help a n00b suck a little bit less? Thanks in advance!

You start from GUT to increase all damage by 3%, also before combat use 3 times explosive surge to get full stacks of pulse generator (increased PC damage by 60%).
Gut>IR>IP>PC(+3stacks of PG)>HIB>SS(if free)(*should proc HIB)>HIB....
The idea is simple, You keep GUT on target, use IR after you have free SS, IP to get pulse cannon 60% additional damage. You need to watch those free stockstrikes, you also gain nice resource returns from Pulse Cannon channeling time. You need hammer shot only rarely.
Keep all the dots all time on boss, use High impact bolt resets with free stockstrike,
Apologies in advance for my utter n00bishness, but...can you translate that into laymen's terms? (I'm only just now getting into MMO playing, and SWTOR is the 1st that kept my attention, so all of this is new to me)

I'm trying to make a Vanguard hybrid (mainly PVE) - can you share your build and/or any hints/tips ?
-
If you want to be ranged I highly suggest Commando over the Vanguard.
So...basically, if I picked Vanguard, and I'm using the Ion cell (ranged), that's a bad idea?
I suck horribly at MMO builds, and this question is very relavent to me. Any tips/hints you have for creating a good Vanguard build would be highly appreciated. I would kind of like to hybrid tank/dps, if that's even possible.

I'm a n00b to SWTOR, and have never really been that great with MMORPG's in general (all the nuances confuse me, and deciphering the acronyms people use for things is like learning a new language). That being said, from my limited experience in the Trooper Vanguard class, I find myself more often than not using Elara Dorne, and then Jorgan as my secondary. 4X is supremely useless thus far. Of course, I haven't put that much gear on him, but he dies so quickly in almost every scenario I have put him in, that he just hasn't been useful or served a purpose. I'm just about to crack level 30, so I haven't gotten the other companions mentioned. I'm looking forward to seeing what they're like.
As an aside...if anyone else here is playing Trooper Vanguard class, can you offer hints/tips for my build? If possible, I'd like to run a hybrid tank/dps build. I've looked at some builds posted online, but as I stated earlier, I more or less suck at MMO'ing, so I can use some suggestions. Feel free to PM me.
