I love playing a ShadowKnight. So far I have not had any problems taking and holding agro in groups. Occasionally it gets hairy trying to hold agro from 2 groups of encounters, but it can be done with a little effort.
As far as FD is concerned, I think the recast timer is fine. I would think a lower recast timer would be sweet, but I make due with what I have. It really is an emergency ability at best.
For example, I was in a group of guildies, and someone wasn't paying attention or was afk while we were running. He accidentally got aggro from some ancient rumbleroots and I was up ahead of everyone. By the time I made it back he was almost dead and I couldnt get agro off of him. FD saved his *** no doubt. I immediately gained agro and tank the group of mobs without a problem.

And, yes, Soloing is fun and rewarding for a Shadowknight that knows what he/she is doing.
