From a min-max standpoint, Iksars are a decent bit behind Trolls who are a decent bit behind Ogres. But, if you're playing a SK, you're probably not too concerned about min-maxxing.
Anyhow, the old plate items are still not wearable by Iksar. Velious plate is Iksar equippable. For the most part, this only matters for Blood Ember Legs and BP click. With that said, the Iksar SK Planar boots are spectacular.
I would just embrace the KOS-everywhere part of your Iksar. It's liberating to know that it doesn't matter if you trash a faction. You can still FD bank and use a Circlet of Shadow to travel through towns. You really aren't a class that hard farms (farming gems or sellables), so access to vendors isn't critical. You can turn in stuff with wolf form if you feel the need to.
