Just to educate you a little in the matter of Wookiee's getting AR1, it's not something we all wanted and it's a temporary fix. There is one major problem with having aninnate AR1 which Waste93 pointed out very well and which I have quoted below....

Please see my post about the armor vulnerability bug. Because players are considered vulnerable to all damage types it doesn't matter if they give us innate armor. We will take exactly the same damage we take now.
The side effect of this bug is that there is NO damage bonus for the AP. So currently the T21 when attacking an unarmored person, there is no damage bonus for the higher AP.
Easy to test, attack an unarmored buddy with any weapon. The combat spam and the floaty damage will be the same. Now attack an creature with a damage type it's vulnerable to. Same things happens regardless of the AP.
Now here is the real kicker. Lets say they fix the vulnerability bug. So that players are no longer considered vulnerable to all damage types. If Wookiees get hit with AP0 weapons they will take 50% damage. If with a AP1 weapon it's 100%. AP2 is 125% and AP3 156%.
So if they give Wookiees a natural AP1 and fix the vulnerability bug, Wookiess in most cases will take either the same damage or MORE damage.
But if they don't fix the bug. We take the same damage we are taking right now.
It's a lose lose situation for Wookiees. In neither case do we on average take less damage.
And in answer to the original poster, as Master TK I can't wear armor but buffs are a must in PVE for large opponents. I also have a +17 Combat bleed resist Shoulderpad and +15 Warcry / +15 Intimidate Bandolier that I use. In PVP I die alot quicker than my Armored guild buddies but I still have fun. I see no reason to re-roll my Toon because I really don't want to play any other race other than a Wookiee. I just have to be more aware and on my toes than most other combatants because I can't wear armor.
Personally I don't think even the races that can wear armor do wear it at TK Master unless they are buffed up and going on Raids.

Wow.....is there any suggestion yet as to what the long-term solution is going to be? Im starting to fear that a balanced fix might not be seen until the space expansion; just like Im starting to wonder if the Devs are ever going to actually fix the problem of Melee not being able to hit while moving---leading to the inevitable "Kiting" marathon---despite the fact that theyve acknowledged its a problem.

There's a nice Sticky thread about it all in th "Core Systems" forum.. They are working towards a Wookiee specific Armor that is supposedly going to go in with Publish 7 or 8. Who knows though, we will just have to wait and see.

I did the whole grind without armor. Just paid for buffs and did tons and tons of bolle lairs. Took all of two days to master.

armors full potential are with buffs..... and with them it makes all the difference in the world
wookies are hurting bad, ARP1 ok thats good but what kinda effectiveness and special proteion? it may not even help at all.....
btw any thing a wookiee can do a human can do, including PSG and things

I'm a wookie TKM, I do not and will not complain about PVE. I solo nightsisters and bull rancors for god sakes. I don't think I'm hindered in that department. PVP on the other hand is a joke. While other people are enjoying being hit for like 15 points in a superior suit of composite on my server, I get smacked for 215....or more. Can't last long like that despite my so called "13% stat advantage". Now this AR1 thing has come up, and the arguements against it seem to make pretty good sense. Man I wish the devs would not assume the entire player base is a bunch of idiots before they say something. Oh well, I'll just keep grinding away with my zabrak alt. and hope that someday my wookie will be able to compete in pvp on par with the armor wearers.

Being a Wookie Master Doctor and 2,2,3,3 TKA I have found it quite easy to solo. I buff myself and use Brandy and Bivoli (spelling?) for mind. I think I have had to use a stim-pack a few times when surrounded by 4 or more Arachne Warriors.
At this poing I have not tried PVPbut due to the fact that I have no armor I believe I would get owned. So, I am hoping my mind enhancements as well as top quality meds will help shiled me from everything.
