I'm currently working on CH with my alt. Basically what I've been doing is going to Dathomir, taking a couple of missions, walking out toward them and killing everything along the way. I'm a master fencer, so I don't get into much trouble. I'm using a full-grown cu pa. I buff us both with my main who's a master doc, and I have plenty of brandy for myself. I carry PLENTY of pet stims, because sometimes things just wanna agro your pet and you can't save him.
Rhoa kwis, brackasets and baz nitches get you the best return on your time, in my experience. And they don't have any serious DoT attacks that I've noticed. Maybe the occasional stun or dizzy, but who cares about those? Rancors are nice because you can get a big hit in xp, but in my experience you can take out three or four 300-400 xp mobs in the same time or less than it takes to take out an 800-1200 xp rancor. Nightsister and Singing Mountain slaves are pretty good too, 350-ish xp, with little effort and they usually come in packs of 4 or 5 and respawn fairly quickly.
Probably not as quick or easy as doing the geo caves with a large group (I haven't done that, but I've heard tell...), but I like to solo, and this has been working really well. Plus I've got about 50k in kick ass leathery hide.
Watch out for mid-level and up rancors, they have a mind disease that'll send you running to Coronet or worse quick, works as fast as poison, on me anyway. Oh, and of course, don't hit anybody else's mission, that's just mean. 
It can be a pain using lower pets, but they net you more experience against the big fellas. And, of course, remember they only need to hit once to get full xp. Don't make the same mistake I did of thinking getting to the point where you can pull two at once will double your xp. It doesn't. The xp for each individual critter is divided by the total number of critters you have called at that time. 
I'm a rookie in the prof. myself, but this is what I've done. Started last week and I'm at something like 3-3-2-3. Hope it helps, and the vets can feel free to put me in my place, if what I'm spewing is pure bantha poodoo.

Well last night I went to the geo caves on yavinand I was getting some good experience. At the geo caves for the kiwi's I was getting about 1300 a piece and for the crazed geo's I was getting about 800 a piece of ch xp. The pet I was using was a grand wrix baby which he is at level 17 out of 25. I'm not sure if you are brand new to ch, but the geo caves are very challenging. You could find a ton of info on the geo cave. Some of the other options are going hunting on dantooine to hunt quenker or savage quenker missions they give about 400 ch xp a piece (depending on what level pet you use).
