    You have pretty much zero accuracy, that's going to suck on anything important. Ul'dah doesn't give us any good gear either, and the Lt. weapon is spectacularly awful.

    For weapon, look into Moogle, Giantsgall with enmity or accuracy, or Garuda's.

    Offhand, I preferred VKS+1 with 120 HP until I got relic. Thormoen's is sad because it removes materia slots, whether you prefer DEF or HP.

    Head is fine, but Cobalt Celata with more 35~40 MND is also great for general use instead of hard tanking.

    Body is fine, the cover enhance is nice, but sometimes you want Cobalt with HP or VIT (or Militia), like Chimera and Coincounter

    Legs are awful, AF pants are unusable and should be replaced with Felt trousers +1 with STR/VIT or HP materia asap, and if you get really lucky, Militia Trousers.

    Hands are fine.

    Feet are fine.

    Ears are fine as well, but the neck should be replaced with Militia Choker as soon as you can afford it.

    For wrists, you also want to have Raptorskin Wristbands +1, and you'll switch between them based on the fight. (Enmity+ for princess/miser/etc, and HP+60 for burst damage incoming, like Chim and Coin)

    You forgot the belt slot, but you'll be using Cobalt or Sentinel belts with HP and Enmity both (same rules as wrists apply, but you can get higher enmity in this slot so it's better to wear enmity more often than wrists)

    For rings, you'll be using accuracy because missing weaponskills is a large dent in your enmity generation. You want to aim for 400~ accuracy for everything but garuda and ifrit (extreme), which need considerably more. Rings help this the most with the smallest tradeoff (outside of curtana, I guess)
