27 monk - gear + leveling questions

[Anxarcule]

Hi all,

I'm currently running a dual combination with my bro (shaman) and we are both level 27 currently fighting in MM. MM is phenomenal experience, but I really want to go try out HK. We visited HK when we were 23 or 24 and found everything red aside from one yellow, but something is drawing me back there.

My gear consists of cured silk aside from specific pieces (executioner's hood), 5AC/55hp rings (x2), KD/Wu stick for 1hb, Wu's Quivering for 2hb. I have ~300pp saved up, + an unsold runed bone fork and ideally would like to get a FBSS next (long ways away [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]). Is there any gear that is relatively inexpensive that would be better for me to upgrade to or should I save up for a FBSS?

Also when can we head back to HK and safely clear the iniital room of guards and hold the place down? I'm thinking we'll wait for 30 so I can get flying kick, but if exp is comparable to MM and it is doable, I'd rather start now.
