i could try to help you out a bit more if you wouldn't mind linking your character page on the PoE forums. i think character pages are hidden publically by default and you're most likely using steam so just log in via steam (or just enter your account details if you aren't using steam to play) > click your name in the top left > privacy settings.
for now though you're probably fine, just try to make sure you are updating your gear every ~10 levels until later into merciless. also, armor and hp is going to be better than evasion for a while just like icosagon said, but i'd also pick up the art of the gladiator passive node in the skill tree (near duelist area).
