While no expert my comments would be
- run dungeons to get way better Armour. Even greens are better than vendor.
- are you using your skills correctly ie from flank/behind etc?
- are you using skills in order to trigger attack bonus's?
- are you applying your buff skills as well?
- have you attached cross class skills?

I would assume by level 29 you are doing most of that, so armor is the big one.

Cheers

I cant check loadstone as it had not updated as it still has you as lvl 26.
