Any Eidolon that says "Character attack" on it is one that you should stay away from. Such as Disasters. Tiamat coming up seems to be Elemental, so that's going to save your butt from having to farm Melusine.
Getting Friends can be really tough for new accounts, yes. That's just an unfortunate thing that everyone has to go through while new. HOWEVER, despite what the game tells you, you DO get the effect of Eidolons of people not in your Friend List. So make sure you pick Elemental attack every time. For Water, that's just Reiki and Jack Frost now, plus Fafnir from Fire side and Garuda from Wind side. Soon to also be Tiamat and Rudra, the Water P2W Eidolon.
Speaking of Eidolons, the reason why Jabberwock feels good for you is because your grid is poor. Once you get properly leveled grid, the 50% Character attack won't be all that much - Elemental attack becomes far better.
Maybe play around with the and see how Character attack and Elemental attack interact?
Also, you said that you had a lot of SRs. But which ones? The worthy ones for Water and Wind are Triton, Belphegor and Oberon. Do you have those?Seth is not a requirement, at least for the content that we've seen. In the future? Yeah, possibly.
SSR Cybele truly is a Wind core though. A shame she's not available in the second MT.
