Knockdown Bug?

I've only recently gotten into melee combat in STO and noticed something odd. I get knocked down... A LOT. I thought it was just bad luck or the targets I was fighting... until I attacked a console I was supposed to destroy and was knocked down... twice.
So after some experimenting, this is what I think is happening. I believe my own knock down chance is affecting myself (for the record, meleecentric Ferasan Tac). The resistance traits DO work in reducing the chance/duration. The only way I've found to completely eliminate knocking myself down (other than going back to ranged) was to drop all 'melee' traits and simply do less damage... which as it turns out is still more damage when factoring in down time.
Anyone find a good way to handle this without gimping yourself?
PS: I seem to remember it happening much less on my Romulan Eng... not sure if that is relevant seeing as how I did no specific testing with her.
