The lack of groupage was a problem for my SK as well when i was leveling. What i did was a combo of CoM and sol b. but the twist is you gotta hustle boss.
See a camp open? Call it and immediately start finding people to add to your group.
1) /who lfg
2) /who all 35 45 cleric (or shaman/druid)
3) 2) /who all 35 45 enchanter
Put your own groups together and itll pay dividends beacuse those people WILL remember you if they are looking to fill a tank spot later. Also, friend those people for quick additions to your group on later group assembling. I found the easiest place to work with was sol b. Close proximity to EC to pull players from there, as well as royals & window often being open.
Warning, do not be disheartened. These groups will fail sometimes when someone says they are coming and 30 minutes later they still havent arrived. You and the 1 person you lured there may sit idly for a while. At least you tried versus sitting around waiting to be invited somewhere.
I will concede it was a bit rough, but you can do it if you put some work into it. And like i said, after a week or two of doing this, people will remember your name and if you tank as well as you put groups together you will get invites all the time.

p.s. worst comes to worst, fear kite while waiting for a group. its a bit mundane and a bit harrowing at times. viable options are like you mentioned FM, but also DL yeti's. once you get to 46, acquire some BE boots and gloves for mana free fear kiting in emergencies (still use your normal spells if you can as they are vastly superior. you are a DE, we are practically plate necromancers with dope amounts of mana)
