Can't solo krayts with MCH alone, but TKM skill may work for you along with it. Haven't heard anything on it. Only soloing on Krayts I've heard is by Master Rifleman which I got yesterday. 
I have to admit, strafeshot 2 is god, I sliced through bull rancor nests like butter with over 3k damager per hit and used my pets to keep them off of me, what a perfect combo 
I am absolutely lovin MCH/Master Rifleman!

Search your feelings young jedi. You know it to be true! 
Bye Bye MCH, now MRM/MD (YaY! THANKS TO THE CU, BACK TO BETA TESTING!!)

you will also need medic skills and petstims or a doctor nearby to heal you but then that wouldnt be soloing.
your going to be at it a VERY long time since for every 100 points of damage you do only 15 is getting to the krayt due to his heavy armour and high kinetic resist.
i dont know of a TKM that has solo'ed a 300k ham canyon krayt but i would assume it is possible but the cost would be astounding to your armour. a very inefficient method in the least. i would be interested in knowing what it cost in armour durability to do it if someone has done it as a TKM.

Perhaps in the past, before the combat revamps, it might have been possible to Solo a Canyon Krayt as a MCH/ Master Rifleman, but now, no armor and no sliced weapon can take out a 300k HAM Canyon Krayt and their ferocity is so high, it's nearly impossible to successfully hold Concealment against a Krayt. If anyone tells you they have soloed a Krayt, then it's only due to using the Mineral Harvestor exploit whereas one could kite a Krayt into a Large Mineral Harvestor which would cause the Krayt to get stuck on it so you could pick it off at a safe distance.
I've not heard anything about a TKM soloing a Krayt, but I've seen one in a group manage to keep a Krayt KD'd while the rest of the group tore it up. With some killer sliced armor and buffs, I suppose it's conceivable.
Either way, I don't see much advantage to soloing Krayts as it would take a lot of time and effort with no guarantee of obtaining a Scale or Pearl. It would be more profitable to form a medium to large group of trustworthy people and spend an entire day out there wasting Krayts and dividing the loot.

Master rifle/master ch
2 pets, both cl 35.
armour and 60% kinetic.
Send one pet in to tank.T21(ap3) and headshot 3
As pet is getting low on health, send second pet in and recall first pet. Headshot 3, heal first pet(petstim d help)
Repeat as necessary.
No harvesters, no exploits.
Takes about 15 minutes, including pet healing .
A group is more fun however, but it is possible.

You must use up a ton of Stims!
I solo them another way, don't know if it works anymore but i do it this way. Get them to aggro each other, then move in and Flame them to death. No pets. So far have done 6 this way, but it is very hairy because they will strike you once in a while. Amazing as that is. As a Flame thrower need to get within 17meters so am well with in their strike and Dizzy range.

What's a decent template for soloing Krayts? Doesn't matter how much time it takes, we all know we have enough time because we play this game

Yeah, you ID him to remove the horns and scales and to shrink him down to size, make him flabby etc. Then you BE him and purposely fail on all experiments to lower HAMs, remove armor and protections, and make him do no dmg. Then you just judo chop him using no specials or combat professions. Actually QUITE effective.

get 3 accounts with master rifle/master swords, get 3 comps and "solo" your krayt.
it's the only way to not be outdamaged by some stronger group.

I soloed a giant canyon last night. I'm sword 0111/pistol 0000/ranger 0010/medic 1100. It took almost 3 hours and I was KD alot from dizzy but the dragon seemed to ignore me when I was down. Lucky I guess. 
I was getting more damage out of meleehit2 than meleemindhit2 so I stuck with that after I intimidated until it stuck.
I tried another but a Master Commando and Master Pistoleer came up on that one and stole it from me.
