Rule number one of twinking: when twinking, within whatever budget you've got, focus on the 1-3 game-changing items and fill the rest of your slots with rot.
For a melee ... whether tank or dps ... those game changers (if you can afford them) basically boil down to regen, haste, and a good weapon. If you can afford a regen item, buy one. Haste is also a priority, but choose your haste wisely. It'd be better to have a cheap FBSS and a great weapon than a RBG (big step up in price) and a worse weapon.
For 30k I'd recommend:
-Sash of the dragonborn vs fbss (5-8k)
-Iksar regen breastplate (13-14k)
-A decent weapon (Velium droppables come to mind, probably not exquisite velium)
-2x 5ac/55hp rings (all twinks should have them from level 1)
-Cheap but functional everything else until you get to a medium/high level and can make informed decisions for yourself :P
The regen bp and cheap haste paired with a reasonable to good weapon will net you more bang for your buck than expensive items in other slots. The ikky regen bp alone will offset a ton of healing you'll need even tanking in your upper 40s to low 50s and allow you to more easily solo the lower levels. For general purpose armor, you could rock banded with that regen bp, haste, and good weapon to a pretty high level.
For other price ranges? Refer back to the rule
