I have a chiv/archer/tamer with 4/6, I seldom use him. I'd like to use him more, just hard to get around dragging a GD.

Parry is useless on the char without a melee weapon skill. You *will* parry some blows, but not really worth 120 points.

Taming and Lore *could* both go down a bit to give you more skill points. Have a "taming jewelry set" for when you need to get back to 120 for taming stuff.

I may go Gargoyle with my guy so I can move faster....

Just a couple thoughts.. 

I found that I was quite annoyed with having to be on foot with a GD as Cerveza mentioned above.  So I took my Archer/Tamer Gargoyle, trained up throwing, and it's absolutely a phenomenal toon to play. 

Not only do you get to move at mounted speed with your dragon, there are a couple other huge benefits to going with throwing.

1. Throwing 120 scrolls are DIRT cheap.
2. No need to carry ammo!!  Saves a lot of room in your pack for other goodies... Loot.. Pots.. etc..
3. Throwing weapons are one handed!!  No need to waste a property on balancing a bow if you are a pot chugger. 
      -If you aren't a chugger, now you can be.
4. Soul Glaives rock, and hit like a truck. 

In all reality, the only true drawback that I have come across is not being able to tame a cu sidhe anymore.  But I'm well past my days of farming Cu's in hopes of getting a blaze one, so no real loss there for me.

Not at all.  He's currently tuned for pvm purposes, but before I moved and had to get the worst internet connection known to man....I ran him like such:

120 Throwing
120 Bushido
120 Resist
110 Tame (20 from Jewels)
110 Lore
90 Tactics
70 Chiv

I've got a good friend that pulled the Bushido out of the template, and SOMEHOW crammed in Mysticism and focus.  I've never seen him use the character, but every time I see his punkte....he's obviously doing something well.

I have a tamer/archer with the following template:

110 Animal Taming
110 Animal Lore
100 Healing
100 Archery
90 Vet
90 Anatomy
90 Tactics
30 Chivalry

Hunter's Headdress and +15 chiv on her ring/bracelet round out the template. If I need to tame cu's I just throw on some skill jewelry. I'm mostly using her to PVM at the moment, but in the past I PvPed very effectively with a similar template.

Do you use bolas or a cyclone's Infused Throw to dismount?
