Orc Fang Earrings are cheap and give 15hps +3str. 100-200pp per.
Crustacean Shell Armor is great for STA and STR, it's fairly cheap too.
A really nice weapon is Silken Whip of Ensnaring 14/28, cheap 200pp.
Jarsath Trident 11/22, 100-200pp.
Fist of Zek 16/32, 300pp.
And a really, really nice weapon that is dirt cheap for the ratio is Staff of Battle, 2hb but 31/37, and it actually will hold decent aggro from 20-30. It hits really hard too.
You will find you need groups to work around the fact you lack proccing weapons to hold aggro, basically if someone can root they need to root the mobs you tanking. If you don't know already, when the mob is rooted it will hit the closest target so as tank you should be hugging the mob while dps like rogues/rangers etc., they should back off a bit.
Save up for a Frostbringer, it's 2.5k, and for a droppable weapon it's awesome for aggro. It procs at lvl 40. It's much cheaper than the WESS, but works great plus looks 100X better than a WESS.
If you want decent aggro weaps for cheap, look for the Ykesha proccing weapons like the club, sword, acid etched warsword, etc. The Ykesha proc is very nice for aggro and these weaps will proc at 35-37 lvl. They usually cost like 100pp-400pp.
As noted above get HP stuffs first, then Haste. SCHW are extremely cheap haste you can find them for 1.5k sometimes cheaper now! They give 22% haste.
