I know this will probably be a multiple part answer, but if you are running your battery at the right voltage level for the Ohms you are using, what is the general life expectancy of an atomizer?

Varies by use... generally I get about 1 week/ coil. I only run mine at 1.21 jigawatts...

Umm, what kind of atomizer you talking about? My rba's will probably last a lifetime, will probably have to change out the O-rings at some point, and maybe the coil mounting screws, and of course the periodic re-wicking and wrapping and new coil, but that's just pennies to do.

I assume you are talking about disposable atty's. That depends on the juice you are vapping, the amount you vape, and any maintenance that you perform. Such as rinsing of tank, cleaning of coils.... Maintained, weeks to a month. Don't really know, upgraded to a bcc then a few rba's before my cheapo clearos gave out.

I could get 3 weeks out of a pt coil head before needed to be cleaned or replaced. Rinsing out your tank every other fill helps too.

Specifically for my Kanger Pro Tank 2. Using 2.2 currently

Kanger Pro Tank coils can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the juice you are using and whether or not you clean the coil regularly. Some juices cause quicker build-up on coils and shorten the lifespan of the coil - coffees, tobaccos, some desserts with a lot of sweetener, for example.

Dice57 is right. With a quick rinse of the coil and tank every couple of tank-fills, you can get 3-6 weeks from one coil. Give it a dry burn once a week or so to remove the gunk on the coil itself and they should be good.

You might consider getting a few feet of kanthal wire and some wick and trying to rebuild them too - it's pretty straight-forward, kind of fun and saves $1.50 every time you do it.
There are literally hundreds of videos how to do this on youtube.
