What perk class do you play most

Let's get some numbers here. What perk classes do most players stick with? I know I start with one of my higher classes to get the benefit, but then mix it up on second round depending on my teammates are choosing for their perk.

First round either demo or firebug, then usually support, medic, or beserker. Everybody complains about the sharpshooters but I'd actually like to informally know the numbers to confirm that there's a glut of sharpshooters being played.

In order of preference:

Field Medic {The perk I define myself as :)}
-----------
Firebug {Will play if there is already a Medic}
Berserker {Will play if bored of Firebug}
-----------
Commando {Will play if team isn't very good and I can't get away with Bug or Zerker}
Support Specialist {Will play if a door needs holding and noone can be assed}
-----------
Demolitions Expert {Only for cocking about with the LAW}
Sharpshooter {Will never ever ever ever ever ever ever play again... I have standards :)}

Berserker
...or if not that, then medic unless the team already has one.

Recently been playing a lot of commando tho, because its my only perk under lvl6.

I basically never do Sharpshooter anymore, but if I do Ill try to avoid both M14 and the crossbow and go for dual 9mm/handcannons and LAR just for the fun of it. Even tho dual 9mm sucks, I just like dual wields.

I play Medic almost nonstop.

I let everyone else get kills and get some myself if i feel like it.

I use the Xbow so that noobs don't get themselves killed. That and i like to snipe.

If you don't believe me, check out my L6 medic. Also my name in my sig.

I'm a doctor.

Me: "Hey Mage, it looks like i just healed that guy from critical to full with a Scrake eating his ***, then ran in front and tanked the scrake"

MageofTyr: "well then, you could say that"

*Mage puts on sunnies*

MageofTyr: "You're a L6 Medic, Candle"

YEEEAAAAHHHHH

Support was my first perk that i used over and over again, i raped support.

then i switched to sharpshooter (until m14 came out)

then i juggled between medic and commando, health bars are very useful, and medics speed owns.

Now i play berserker, i like not being grabbed by clots and just mowing everything down (bar fp's) with my katana.

I sort of "rediscover" each perk one by one. When get tired of playing one perk, I switch to another (or if I hear about a new weapon combo, or strategy, or changes are made).

My first level 6 perk was commando, and then I was big on shotguns. Now I'm into medics and firebugs; speed demon with a katana. :D
