Considering both that you are making your first Kheld ever, and you also want to have a knockdown for when you're tanking (or blasting for that matter)...
...I'd personally recommend making a Peacebringer first.
There are many reasons behind this, but for now I'll just state that both a WS and a PB's nova form deal excellent damage, both nova forms knockdown or knockback (depending on your positioning) the PB tank form has an excellent knockdown in the foot stomp, and the PB is generally a little easier on the learning curve for a first-time Kheldian....
....yeah, Peacebringer all the way.
Once you lvl that bad boy up and are used to playing a Kheld, make yourself a Warshade. You'll love playing that one too... 
Good luck!

I went straight for a WS and actually abandoned her for about two months after I stalled out in leveling her at around level 35. I mostly attribute my failure to utilize her properly, particularly what people refer to as "clicky" powers to the temporary loss of intrest I had in her. After alot of advice from a good WS friend of mine and some searching on this forums I brought her back and she has become my primary character.
The common consensus here seems to be that the PB is better to take for your first go around, and I believe that's because there is less set-up involved, the PB functions well "out of the box" so to speak.

I also prefer to play my WS more than I do my PB, but I've been playing Khelds for quite some time now, and that makes a big difference. For a first-timer, it's *generally* better to get used to Kheld gameplay styles while leveling up a Peacebringer.

Id like eventually to get an epic arch type.
id like to be able to tank in the dwarf form while still doing damage, and do high damage in the nova form. I also like aoe attacks, at least one or two of them which knockdown.
which is the better one to choose for those requirements?
