Dude, soloing anything is a piece of cake. 2 words, conceal shot. It works on everything including community mobs, regaurdless of what some people think. Your only problem is that Dath is full of argo's that might be around. Get a master ranger to camo you up if you think you need it. I have soloed night sisters using concealshot with out armor or buffs, just a good 'ol bottle of brandy.
Bah, concealshot takes forever and they end up agroing you once the bleed kicks in. I just tank the damn things 
80 percent kinetic comp, buffs and a big T21. To solo them the way I do though you need to be able to heal states or they will eventually dizzy/kd you. You also have to be good at luring them out without pissing off the mobs that you cant damage like the spell weavers.
You can kite them quite well if you have some terrain negotiation and a nearby mountain as well.
As with any high end mobs, if you want to solo themyou need to have the right equipment, food, buffs, spices etc.
Oh and I just want to point out one thing.

Soloing Elders is no guarantee of getting good loot. I have soloed7 over the last 2 days, 5 of them had nothing but credits, one had NOTHING AT ALL, and the 7th had an LVA with decent mods, no dot and low damage/speed.
I then went with a friend to try and take down the dark jedi master who makes the Elders look like chumps, 360k HAM,90 percet resist to all, heavy armor and hits like a truck. Quite possibly the hardest mob in the game (thank god force powers dont work currently). He loaded OMG a 70 damage SR Combat Pistol.. Yay a newbie loot, but hell at least he loaded SOMETHING.
The loot in this game is pretty messed, you would think the really high end mobs would load something 'reasonable' every time. Even if its just a low end tape (+5 maybe?) or a reasonable (not uber)weapon.
This game can be incredibly frustrating.
Loots messed up completely, IMHO
Why the hell are night sisters dropping noobie pistols at all? Why isn't loot more consistant with the MOB you kill. Like say you kill an imperial sharpshooter, Should'nt you get a rifle or imperial uniform? I mean it's the little things that make this game so repetative and boring and dumb!
