The answer to this will vary a lot - I'll tell you what I know (PS this relates to me as I'm Zabrak):
Most attacks will hit either your helmet, your chestplate or your boots. I have come across droideka that will target your legs. In general I think you are safe though. However, there have been rumours about armour holes appearing with recent patches - I suspect they are short term. It remains speculation whether you will eventually need to wear a full suit to protect yourself.

Obviously you can't wear boots so I would wear pants instead, I guess this is the next best thing.

all bets are off with trandoshans. the one trando in my guild is referred to as the walking armor hole. a human/zab/mon cal/rodian/bothan only needs to wear four pieces of armor: 1) helmet, 2) chest plate, 3) gloves, and 4) boots. However, with the uniquely sucky anatomy of a trando, the boots and gloves are out. I'll see if I can get my pet trando to post over here. maybe he can explain it.
bottom line: trandoshans have serious issues when it comes to armor holes.

I am the walking armour hole 
I currently wear a Chest Plate and a Helmet, nothing else. This is for PvP and most PvE.
I generally avoid high end PvE becausea trando simply can not do it. Even if you wear as much composite as possible, the chances of a high end mob 1 hitting you to hte hands or feet is very high. Especially something like an elder with a power hammer or LVA.
If you really want to PvE reroll. Trandos are garbage.

personally i typically only wear a tantel chest plate for PvE. somtimes i will throw on a comp chest plate if it is a high end that i can handle (read: no elders). for PvP i will wear the obiligatory 4 pieces, but i am begining to wonder if it is even worth it to do that.
in any case, for TKM's, armor should be more of an option. not a requirement. especially if it is PvE.
