wish the crystals were 4 star versions. They are prob the most resin intensive thing because of how rare they are to drop and the 40 resin cost.

This gon' be long.

So the first thing is to watch and understand (as best you can) the elemental reactions vid some posts above. I say this because (and you'll definitely feel this at later world levels and such) damage doesn't really scale by levels/equipment beyond a certain point - it really scales by team comp and mostly elemental reactions. As an example, a major reason why teams with Diluc frequently output really high damage (not counting Abyss bonuses) is because if you can pair him with a Hydro character that applies the element frequently, he gets a 1.5+ multiplier on his damage (Vaporize!)... it's why Xingqiu is considered a god-tier support - Hydro frequently leads to very good damage multipliers and he is a god of applying and re-applying the element. The Electro-Charge bug fix that rolled out arguably makes Keqing way more competitive because that reaction now reliably dishes out additional damage, allowing her to pair with a Hydro support way better.

The reason why I bring this up is because your current team comp is arguably somewhat inefficient & and you have a number of options of how you want to do the big damages.

For elemental reactions, ideally you have at least one aura (someone that applies an element frequently as a base) and at least one trigger (someone that uses a skill to proc a reaction and get the damage). Fish is definitely an aura (though her up-time can depend on your constellations), Benny is both a trigger (E) and aura (Q), and Xiangling doesn't really do anything elemental particularly well. Qiqi's also pretty unreliable because it's a low-frequently spin.

As an example, if you want to focus on Xiangling as a physical DPS, then the elemental reaction you want to enable that is Superconduct (Cryo+Electro) because it inflicts a physical DEF debuff. You may be trying to do that, but Qiqi is actually a horrific elemental reaction character - you'd probably get more mileage out of Kaeya. It's why you frequently see Razor+Kaeya pairs, because the latter is much better at applying the element... even if his kit overall is sort of meh. You may actually get more firepower by running Xiangling/Fish/Qiqi/Kaeya so you can try to ensure as high an uptime on Superconduct as possible. Xiangling/Bennett/Fish/Kaeya might be a little hairy in terms of pure healing throughput but it likewise probably gives you the maximum amount of damage - you just have to be careful and try to apply Superconduct before you pop Bennett's ult (because the frequency of his ult's fire ticks might Melt the cryo or Overload the lightning).

Note that without reliably proccing Superconduct in combat, you'll find your damage just stops scaling relative to enemy strength. The game (at higher AR) is definitely balanced around the Reaction damage.

This all then pertains to the talents you level. If you're focused on XL physical DPS then obviously her Autoattack matters the most and her skills aren't as important (because your artifacts will be geared toward hitting harder and not empowering her flame damage). You can dumpster on Bennet/Fish/Kaeya Autoattack because you won't be using them much. Fish's Skill becomes her #1 priority because you're relying on her to apply damage over time and not really worried about the Q nuke damage. So on and so forth.

What weapons you have can determine which role-per-character is more efficient for you if you feel the want/need to explore. Having a sacrificial sword vs. not having one really changes how some characters (like Qiqi and Xingqiu) play - it gives Qiqi. Obviously the Pike on XL is a necessity for her as a physical DPS. So on and so forth.

Hope that helps a bit.
