Now in my personal opinion, first thing you should do is reach the elite level cap. With your current stats, it's possible to get to the elite cap providing you find a great party and motivated when grinding. It may be monotonous in the long run but hey, without persistence there would not be any favorable results.

You have two places to grind exp: Watcher's Tomb located in Traveler's Outpost and Kraag Tombs. I personally prefer Watcher's Tomb IV as this contains a huge number of killable mobs and most of those trying to reach the elite cap would be situated near its entrance. You can be easily invited by different parties or you can just find a random party in an instance. Remember to bring potions with you as Warriors would not always be there to protect your back.

To get decent items, there is one true secret for this: Farming. Once you reach level 20, you can already enter and join Elite maps. There are two places that I farm from: Elite Blackenridge Village and Dead City Outskirts. Killing Jarl and Ann would randomly give you a chance to get Elite chests, and opening them would randomly merit you items. The items would vary on its rarity: Trash, Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. If you ever get a legendary item for your class and has the potential to boost your stats, use it. However, if you find a Legendary item that is not suitable for your class, sell it. Check the auction house and base your prices there. You can either list your item in the auction house providing you pay taxes, or if you're really short in gold: Chant around Kraag with your sales Just don't spam!

Farming really is the key to get gold or if you are willing to earn gold the easy way, you could always purchase gold using platinum. Though I suggest that if you ever get hold of platinum, use it for vanities and exclusive platinum-only pet Aesthetics is a plus point to this game. Just never give up, every player is given a random chance at legendary items, it's just a matter of who gets lucky and who farms the most! Good Luck!

Limsyoker has pretty much all points covered. Great advice. Level to cap ASAP, or at least 20, where you can start the real farming. Gear upgrades from 17 to 19 are just gold thrown away.

As for passives/points to invest in, it's really about preference. Personally, I went the cookie cutter full DEX route and just built my gear around that to fill in voids at HP and MP, while maintaining damage and DPS stats.

One reason why other rogues might appear stronger than yours is because they might be "old 16s" who leveled to cap farmed good gear before the expansion. It's kind of funky, but almost all of the top tier 16 items are better than anything you would find from 17 to 19.
