I know there's another thread for someone else, but I didn't want to jack it or clutter it more.
Alright, my PLD is currently 43. At 45 is my next planned 'major' upgrade. That's to the first Iron Ram set. Right now I'm sporting the
Kampfplatte Armor Set.
Note: Looking at the Iron Ram vs Kampfplatte, not all the pieces are better. Because of this I'm thinking Iron Ram when soloing (for the att/acc boost for full set, and only because I already bought the whole damn set.) and only certain pieces the rest of the time.

My level 30 set:
This is mostly what I have now. I've solo'd / duo'd most of my way from 1-43. I've already started switching out pieces (i.e. back/ring/earring) for the upgrade to the level 45 set. This set is just for reference so you can skip the lolPLDevasion comments. It worked out just fine for me solo/duo with capped shield(up to level 38)/evasion already (200 evasion / ~107 shield from my WHM).
My level 45 set(s):

(the solo set may go away if PT invites increase or I find it's not a big enough boost to be worth the hassle)
Notes: The only gear I do not have for level 45 is the Buckler Earring. It's rough at 200k. With some other expenses recently I can't grab it just yet.

I will have CoP ring soon. I'm going to go with Sattva. If I find that the Rajas will benefit me better at 75, I will switch.
My level 68 set:
This is my next major step that I have planned. I think I'm going in the right direction, but th
