To be honest I think you are doing okay for weapons and armour. The offhand is of limited value until duel wield/double attack exceed 150 skill so don't sweat that slot too much for now, just fill it with something cheap.
The biggest boost you are going to get next is a haste item, I suggest saving all your plat for that (silver chitin hand wraps, flowing black silk sash, maybe even rot-quest a hangman's noose). You can get all your plat back from your haste item at level 46 by tagging along with plane of sky raids and picking up a belt of contention (/who all airplane). This will increase your dps (so xp rate) and aggro (making groups more efficient, but really you want groupmates to be rooting the mobs you are fighting so you can stand on their toes and ensure you are the one getting hit).
To begin with returns on stamina are pretty poor and AC is capped by level so I don't think there is much benefit from switching up to crustacean shell armor immediately, but once you get your haste item this will definitely be a wise next step as you will probably be approaching the cheal levels.
By the way, which race did you choose?
