I'm in the same boat on my Paladin.
I found the gnoll fang quest to be solid up through at least level 10, although it's a bit mindless. It's still good XP, and you can get the fangs much quicker, so you should be able to get through the next few levels fairly quickly.
I cycled through the gnolls out in front of Blackburrow for the most part - and killed the gnoll hunter that would pop occasionally. When you get both portions of the staff he drops, you can take them to Surefall Glade and turn it in to Corun Finisc to get the Jaggedpine Crook. Not sure if that would be a problem for you as an SK or not (faction wise). But you get about 5 to 8 plat for each Crook you make and a bit of experience. And you can sell the Crook itself on a vendor for another plat or so, or give them to the newbie Druids/Rangers.
At level 12, I decided to try to make the run from Qeynos to Freeport. It was pretty straightforward until I got to Highpass Hold. There's a red scowling gnoll guarding the entry, so I guess invis would be necessary to get through to the forest, so I'll have to try to get some assistance. I got there just before the servers went down, and haven't had a chance to log back in since, so I'm still undecided. But it sounds like Freeport is a better spot to be to find groups, quests, etc.
