Gearing a lowbie ranger

[Bengala]

Aside from getting the best haste I can afford, what should I be looking for gear/stat-wise? I went through pages and pages of the melee forums and deduced that either I get a Swarmcaller or Woodsman's Staff and I'll likely never get the opportunity to do epic, so... options are limited lol

For context, I duo with my wife on her cleric 99% of the time and we are currently only lvl 23. I only have full Blue Wicker armor from Stonebrunt Mountains (cause it looks hot, and we farmed it while leveling our ENC/DRU duo) and am wielding MH Lamentation OH Wakizashi of the Frozen Skies (have a second one for looks, but I believe the Lammy is better due to ration).

As a wood elf ranger tank, should I gear towards: AC>HP>STA>STR? A mid-range gear list would be most appreciated if anyone has the time to curate one. I have around 10k plat across my main toons to work with.

Thanks ahead for the insight!!
