Generally speaking It's better to stick with a t4 in at least one class.
A heavy skirmisher (t3 skirmisher) can supposedly use two of the legendary polearms, the dragon halberd and the dragon spear.
That said the pikeman lacks access to some of the better shields that allow you to shieldwall properly.
With the addition of higher tier pikeman armour you may be able to almost match (or beat) a t3 inf in terms of protection along with lesser weight.
I have always maintained that a skirmisher doesn't really need that much armour as you can dodge most attacks as long as you pay attention to
your surroundings, that said it does help to have a little extra padding sometimes when you mess up... The choice is yours in the end, if you choose
to go hybrid with a skirmisher good luck to you.
