<p>Locking Combat Experience means that you will only get XP from quests and discoveries.  This somewhat slows down leveling, but with more quests being completed before they turn gray, this allows you to gain more AA points.</p><p>I would recommend getting ROK.  It includes all the expansions and adventure packs, and basically turns on all the different expansion-specific content (AAs starting at level 10 with EOF, etc.)  Granted, you might not use the ROK specific zones (except Timorous Deep) until you get to around 65-70, but when you get to that point, you won't have to worry about getting it. Plus, you get access to the Bloodline Chronicles, Splitpaw Saga, and Fallen Dynasty, which are all accessible prior to ROK, with Splitpaw being a good place to go from level 20 to around 60 (it scales with your level.)</p>

If you create your SK or Assassin, you may be able to start in Timorous Deep. TD has a lot of low level content from lvl1-20, plus if your into farming, you can get some nice armor and not have to worry too much about your rares til your mid 20's-lvl 30.  I would reccomend getting it.
