One of the biggest improvements you can make for your sets is to work on the magian staves.
For your cure potency set, I think you could aim at something like this:

also wouldnt light obi/twilight cape (when conditions fit) be more effective then current gear?

There really is no better improvement than a straight +22% Cure potency increase, and it will even get better past lvl 90 :(
Yes, Twilight and Obi will be much more effective. I'm hoping they'll fix SCH so it can use Light weather below lvl 50 as a sub

Even *if* SE doesn't raise the Cure potency cap on the Surya's staff, they *may* follow suit as they did with the elemental dmg staves and cut casting time Which would be AMAZING for a rdm soloer who sometimes needs that quick cure to save their @$$
In short- do the cure potency staff. It should not take you long at all~

Err, I didn't think it was worth posting my precast set, it's just two items, Warlock's Chapeau and +5 fast cast Mederi Talar..

For your cure potency set, I think you could aim at something like this:
This looks interesting, except I couldn't afford Flygja Torque +1, Roundel Earring or Neptune's Pearl anytime soon, and I don't want to throw away my Champion's Galea. The staff is on my wishlist, but I don't really think it's going to be complete in a reasonable amount of time, considering my other current tasks at hand.
At whoever mentioned obi/twilight cape, I currently only have the ice obi and twilight cape, so I'm about halfway there...

That would have been me =) Fast cast also should /can include loq earring and the rdm job specific earring* /shrug Wont go on about specifics on a precast set..
Cure potency staff should be your number 1 priority ESPECIALLY if you say you can't afford the other pieces.. 22% > 10% and trust me that 12% could save your @$$

I wouldn't worry much about the latest Earrings and Rings you can get from the AH as much as I would about getting the Magian Staves and the Obis.
Basically now is the time to go through the painful stuff because it's what will grant you the greatest and most valuable improvements.

It's also amazing when you have a event LS and get weapons like Empyerial AND staffs done at the same time. ":)

Well, I've been at it with my RDM for a while now, and I've kinda hit a roadblock where I don't see many Auction House items I could get to improve myself other than the obvious +7 Stat rings, +4 stat earrings, etc. However before I start saving up for those, I want to see if there's something else I'm missing out on currently. Please view my gear sets and give advice to help me improve further. This is for a mostly solo Red Mage. Thanks, I appreciate it!

Mederi Talar has Conserve MP+2, Magic Evasion+3, and Fast Cast+5. My spellcast XML uses that and Warlock's Chapeau as precast pieces. Also, you may be wondering why some sets are missing earrings, that's because my macros just don't use earrings for those slots/macros, due to inventory space restrictions. Also, my Magic accuracy builds don't really differ from the potency builds except for using Elemental/Spider Torque and Balrahn's Ring, or Estoqueur's Sayon +1 in place of Augur's Jaseran.
