I think ive tapped out what the Black Marble gargs can do for me other than stealthyness. I went into black goblins/boars and didnt last 10 minutes for some reason. Anything else out in the HIB/Shard area a good inbetween?

550eva 530s other defense I have no issues hitting them just get hit back to much!

Sounds like you should try the zombie stomper area. If those are too hard (which would be surprising), mountain giants on the other side of Hib should train you long enough to step into stompers or goblins/boars. There are 3 steps to the zombies in the area, each set being only a few rooms apart. You will need to run from the tuskies for a while, but they aren't that common and there are usually hunters around willing to kill them.
