Now for my problem: basically I'm just not the most savviest person around when it comes to stat allocation in such games. So honestly I don't know if I have a decent build or if I'm doing everything completely wrong.
Stat allocation is fine as long as it's within 80% to 120% of your current level. Let the equips do the un-balancing for you.
As for equip, can't say much without the exact link (point at the equip and press 'c' to get the link).

All of my equipment is level 0 currently because for the life of me I can't acquire any materials for upgrading in the forge...
Don't worry about forging at your level.

...and I pretty much cannot survive the 100+ rounds for Item World on any of my decent equipment.
Don't worry about IWing at your level.

Advice would be helpful at this point.
Focus on leveling first. Think about forging/IWing when you get something really decent (something sold in WTS for a million+, for example) and when you can afford that.
