22k to set up my new SK

[jgold16]

Hey there, looking to roll a new SK and have about 22k to spend. I love tanking and utility beyond tanking appeals to me. Don't have any interest in being a raid tank, so not doing a warrior. I read some of these posts of those saying so many quit SK's 55+ because you can't tank much and soloing drops off. Is this true? Sorry, this is a ramble from my original question about how to set up a new SK.

Races I am thinking are Troll and Iksar. Ikky BP + Rygorr/Crusty/Sentient depending on race, Ebon Mace until 30 then Reaver, SCHW, Thick banded belt, AC/HP rings. That's what I got on mind right now.

On Green server, so not sure I got it in me to grind out another 40k for a fungi.
