What skills are you using? Strafe? Multi? Making educated guesses here is my blind advice:

I am not sure what a 45 isa bone is but perhaps you should consider using Tal Rasha's hat. Ugly yes, but one of the best for a strafer.

Use Laying of Hands gloves.

Get CoH armor or Treachery or Lionheart. All depending on how much you can afford.

Feedback your skills set up and we'll go from there.

Seeing as this is for pvp:
your frw might be to low with the gear you've listed, more frw charms might be needed. Without frw you'll be to easy to catch. Your life is probably low, so frw is the only way to stay alive ... Your life should still be adjusted so you can take one hit before dying. IMO 500-600 life is to low even for a bowzon when pvping, you'd get 1 hit k.o. to easily from just a single lucky shot.

Your attack damage shouldn't be bad with the gear you listed though.

Is your fana aura lvl 13 or higher? otherwise you're missing your breakpoint. Even if it is you still need both ias and kb on the gloves, skills aren't as mandatory as the ias.

Frw, as much as you possible can. There is no breakpoints with frw, although you get diminshed return I believe.

You're missing frw, in duels especially against ES fb sorcs and hammerdins, running is required to dodge their fireballs/hammers and knock them back.

I don't use my PvP bowazon for pub duels anymore, because it's not really a good pub cleaner. Smiters are a nightmare. Same for FoH, auradins, ghosts and hybrid sins and they are seen frequently in pub duels.

Bowazons in PvP are generally going to be "glass cannons," even if you invest in resists and health. Most characters can pick on them pretty well, although a really well geared Bowazon can hold her own.

Consider Wartravs instead of Gores as well, season to taste.
Your survivability is going to have little to do with your gear and a lot more with how well you know how to walk in a zig-zag pattern and avoid damage. Like said above, FRW is a big thing since you are going to be so fragile.
