I am sad I am just now seeing this post from Naala, I will have to think on this some and post some helpful info. But Naala OP is very spot on.
One quick tidbit, and this sounds odd coming from an SK main.. Avoid Hybrids(bards are probably ok) if you can. It sucks but if you like playing with your friends, your going to hold them back. That Xp hit is huge, I had to play tons of extra hours to keep up with those I loved to lvl with. Tanking whites/yellow/red in Banded/Bronze is not a solid viable strat. Plus in long run Warriors are soooo much more needed come Kunark/velious. SK/Pally become add tanks, and mana pools for Enc to mana tap....
Will say SK/Pally are fun to play though!

The class XP penalty is sort of divided across the group, so it really becomes a single-digit percentage. Doesn't really matter much. Considering how vastly superior hybrids are as tanks in leveling content, I'd always take a knight over a warrior. Warriors really are absolute trash outside of raids, and doubly so before they even get high-end weapons with good ratios and proper aggro procs.
Tanking in banded/bronze is just a matter of not foolishly insisting on leveling off of red mobs on a fresh server. That's a player problem.
