Regardless of which race you choose, your item priority looks like this:
1. Fungi Tunic - ~40k at worst across both servers
2. Seahorse Belt (34% Haste) - ~14k at worst across both servers
3. Reaver - ~5k at worse across both servers
4. 2x 6/65 or 5/55 HP Rings.
5. Any 0.5 ratio weapon for leveling from 1-20. Reaver isn't a great weapon from 1-20 due to damage cap.
This will allow you to level from 1-50 comfortably either solo or group. Fill your armor slots with whatever you can as you gain plat while leveling, or get more plat from your main.
Alternatively you could downgrade your haste item to Silver Chitin Hand Wraps (22% haste) to save 13k, and use that 13k to fill out your armor slots with stat pieces like thick banded belt and HP pieces like Dire Wolf-Hide cloak. You could also get jboots if you want, or stick to SoW pots. You don't absolutely need a 34% haste item for leveling in the lower levels. 22% haste is already great.
If you end up going gnome, clockwork arms are like 2-3k, plus recharge costs.
In a group people should be rooting the mobs so you can tank them. 40+ is when some of the better agro weapons become proccable, so I wouldn't worry too much about agro proc weapons until then (assuming you don't get bored and stop playing before 40). Levels 1-40 are quite easy anyway when it comes to solo/group content, so a high DPS weapon like reaver will work wonders.

Yeah that's basically my plan. Fungi + haste and a whole bunch of +hp using 1 handers until 20 then start cycling in 2 handers. Probably going to get my hands on a croaking dirk, should be decent aggro until the 2h caps are lifted. Then cycle in staff of battle for 2hb and get a reaver at 30. I'l get a spade too down the line. There's a couple things i need to buy for other toons first but I got SCHW right now and will switch to seahorse belt when I get a bit more funds. I'll get to level 5 and faction/park him in chardok to get some no drop goodies while I farm.

Relying on procs is not fun. Even with Truncheon, sometimes my warrior struggles with fights because the Truncheon won't proc until the mob is nearly dead, or until I'm nearly dead.

Yeah procs are always a gamble. I ran the numbers in the EC warrior weapon thread and if you get any 400hate proc off it basically wins over even SBOZ white damage but most EC 1h proc weapons don't have great ratios so if you don't proc you're left behind. I was wondering how much I wanted to gamble on that in a group setting at 40+. I figured with everyone being twinked you might want a little edge.
