Starting a warrior

[Healthcare]

So while lowbie warriors wait until 25 to use lariat hide whips, what about using a pair of tentacle whips?

4/25 and procs lifetap. Is magical and non-lore so you can dual wield them. Not sure about the hate that will be caused from the lifetaps though [You must be logged in to view images.

Or are you perhaps just better off saving for a polished granite tomahawk that can absorb some damage?

Also, what causes more aggro, kick or slam? Since I believe slam has a stun component to it also.
