Mask scent enhancements seem to make sampling higher level creatures easier for me. These include enhanced clothing and Jawa beer...and of course the mask scent command. Also, peruse SWG Creatures and make sure the target creatures don't deathblow or don't have DOT attacks.
The important thing is not to sample the highest thing you can, but the highest thing that gives you consistent success. Remember that what you are after is XP per hour, not XP per creature, and a lot of failures makea few high xp hits worth less overall.
This, by the way, is the same advice you are getting from the other posters here.

dna1 - rills - 100xp per
dna2 - mountain dewbacks or desert squill - 250 xp per
dna3 - bolle bols on naboo (endor ones could be just as good but worse agro there) - 350xp per
dna4 - fambaa 400+ xp per
give that a shot and youll have the dna tree in no time at all, oh and this seems obvious but some people forget to make templates with the dna to grind some pets on for crafting xp.
* i put in those xp stats from memory so might just be a load of crap

for me, i stay with the piket in dant. i got my scout tree up with them too , piket is good for 300+xp if you can take one from them, they dont ussally go argo,. just remember to hit peace when you are sampling so you dont argo it and attack it to draw the rest of the herd attattion to chase you down

Once you hit 3 you can try the Kliknik / Blueleaf temple. You can just circle that getting good XP from all the Defenders (they sit in groups of 5 all around the temple). I spent a mindbuff there and got a good chunk done.

Buy a crate of packs, drag your sample into it and then delete the pack...much faster and easier than deleting them one at a time....cost you a few credits though.

yeah, you have to drag them one at a time, but that's easier than deleting them one at a time. Or you can turn off your delete confirmation and do like I did and loose a good set of mask scent pants....good thing I had armor on...would have been drafty

deleting them though you miss a ton of crafting xp, get a crafting droid, make templates and when your inv is full whip out the droid and grind gurnasets with your crap meat and flora, you can fill 3 crafting boxes before finishing the dna tree.

Also if you are going MCH you can tame in between and grind out MCH at the same time, although that would be pretty freaking tedious. There is no easy way.

yup...creature cloning is rather buggy right now...lots of people are trying to bide time 'til this gets fixed, as it's supposedly an issue they're 'looking into'
there are ways you can come up with halfway decent stuff...just takes a lot of time and experimentation (not the point based kind) to figure out a few tricks. there's helpful hints in a few recent threads
