On the other points, I think you might have done something wrong with your equipment, it could help to post your build here.

The first thing you should forget is relying on AC, it'll never be good, it's better to go for miss-chance and DR.

Items - pick up a Shard (universal psionic item, so anyone can use it) of Spellcraft +10. Single use, but only costs 1,000 gp. Or, buy a permanent Crystal Mask of Spellcraft for 10,000. Or, team up with friends.

AC is a funny thing; at high levels, there's a relatively narrow range where if you're below that it doesn't matter, and if you're above that you're invincible. Generally speaking, AC helps everyone at low levels, but after lvl10/15 you have to decide if you want to go for broke (in which case you need to aim for the 50's or so by lvl20), or exit the arms race before you burn too much gold and item slots into it. Here's a hint: Wizards and other people without heavy armor are usually going to lag substantially in the AC arms race. Miss chance especially is just as useful at lvl5 as it is as lvl25.

Other than that, try playing Batman. Fighting directly isn't working, so fight indirectly. Use spells like Forcewall to control the battlefield, Polymorph the fighter, cast Invisibility on the healbot, Disintegrate the floor under the enemy, summon in Elder Elementals, etc. Win by manipulating events so your TEAM wins, not by showing off your mighty magic skills.
