You can get by with pretty bad gear until the 50s. A good set of weapons with 20ish% haste and ~150 worn AC is more than enough for group content. A pair of Velium/Platinum fire wedding rings will last you a very long time so are a worthwhile investment too.
With 20% worn haste an enchanter buffs will put you at the haste cap for your level most of the way through the game.
In raids shadowknights and paladins are generally used as rampage or trashclear tanks rather than main tanks as they can self heal but lack an equivalent to defensive disc.
Having two characters in different level ranges is nice, if you can't find a quick group on one you can switch to another. It sucks to be sat on your ass lfg all day!
