So, I'm at the point where many of my characters can't do much of anything. They get crushed in Arena and Galactic War along with the normal battles. So obviously I need to gear them up more.
I just reread your original post. After seeing your roster it also seems like you need to find out WHICH characters to gear up. Don't waste gear on characters, you won't be using much any way.
Furthermore, you are level 85 but only very few of your characters are higher than level 80. If you wish to climb in arenas, develop a team with good synergy, level them all to 85 and gear them up. Don't spread your gear and credits all over the place. Work on a few select characters at a time - with only a few 'side projects', which you may focus on later/next. Edit: "You will need credits to level up your characters. Make sure, that you can beat the highest tier of credit heist. You need those credits. A steady income of resources is key to success in this game."
I've been doing that. As I said: i focus on a team ((like Sith)) and then I hit this gear roadblock. i am unable to do anything else so I move on to another group lest my energy points sit there, forever unused. Then THAT team hits the gear block and I move on to the next.
I know this is way back on page 1 of this discussion, but anyway:
As already pointed out a few times by several posters, to build a strong team, you need to focus on that team, before moving on to the next team. Don't spread your resources too thin. Furhtermore, as I stated previuosly, you also need to know which characters to focus on - not only which faction. Take your sith, which you have worked on, as an example:
https://swgoh.gg/p/546399927/characters/?f=Sith
You took your Dooku to gear level 10 - but left his rank at rank 3 (3 stars). He's still not very strong. If you want a strong Dooku, work on both gear level and rank. Some characters are strong/viable already at 3*, but Dooku is not really one of them. Palpatine is great as a leader, but somewhat squishy at only rank 5 (5 stars), gear level 10 and with no zeta on his unique. Nihilus and Sion are also great sith. Although they are among the characters, that begin being viable at rank 3 or rank 4, it would be a great idea to farm them all the way up to rank 7 (7 stars). Nihilus is viable at low rank, since his main ability is his Annihilate. He just needs to be strong enough to survive until that ability is off cooldown. Sion is a tank, and often tanks are viable at low rank already, as long as they have high gear level. Bastilla (fallen) is one of the characters that are viable at low rank as well - if geared up, that is. Her abilities include some protection regeneration, defense bonus, tenacity bonus and foresight. It all helps her survivability. A good team (for now) could be EP lead, Vader, Bastilla, Sion and Nihilus. Alternatively, under EP lead, you could also mix in some empire characters. Thrawn is one of the strongest in the game. I'd suggest, that you take Thrawn from level 69 to level 85 before you take your rank 2 Gar Saxon from level 82 to 85 (No, Saxon is not very strong. Don't waste any more resources on him. Save your credits, gear etc. for your strong characters - characters, you will actually be using).
This was just an example, since you mentioned your sith team yourself. As I previously suggested, you should have a look at one of the beginners' guides found on theses forums to get an idea of which characters are strong, and suggestions for the order in which you build your teams.
Good luck.
