I found for me that things sped up exponentially when I dropped the droid for Kira. I use her the same way I used him, to draw initial aggro, but when she goes in she's basically a buzzsaw. Things die very quickly. Being watchman and using zen helps as well. Keep in mind that if she gets very hurt, you don't have to heal her up (at least not right now). You can simply dismiss and resummon.
I'm actually the other end of the spectrum in terms of completionist with my knight. I only do the planetary series and my class quests on any given planet, skip the side quests (i've already done them all on other characters) and heroics (I almost never group), only (occasionally) do space combat, although that's a very large amount of xp when you hit a level with new missions. I really don't worry about my gear at all aside from hilts. Everything I fight is on-level, and I haven't found anything to be all that challenging unless I'm on a key class mission. That's really the only time I have to be on my toes, and basically the only time I ever pull doc (the healer) out. Kira's not always real good for fighting elites and champions.
Just my perspective. I realize it's not the norm as far as knights and sentinels go.
