I find that the ability to solo Blues or whites depends entirely on the 
monster.  Some blues are easy (beetles, lions, orcs) while others are almost 
sure death (aviaks, most spellcasters, undead reavers)  The classic example of 
this is bandits.  A blue fighter type bandit was easy pickings but a blue spell 
caster bandit was death.  I usually learn this the hard way...  :)

Playing style, yes. Character race, no. I too am a wood elf and I am still 
soloing effectively at level 16. At this time I can take on 2 risky's or 1 
dangerous enemy and come out with at least 2 bubbles of healt left. And when I 
hit 17 and get dual wield I feel that will give me the extra boost to be able to
solo into the low 20's or so.
     
Don't get me wrong, I group with friends whenever they are around, but our 
schedules don't always mesh so I've learned how to solo too.
