Whats the fastest way to grind through being an armorsmith? Currently a level 13 Outfitter, and have a VERY hard time making any pristine weapons/armor, and nothing seems to give decent exp anymore

Crafting exp slows down the higher you get, just like adventuring exp. If you always use even con recipes, that's the best you can do.

I find it much easier to level up crafting than exp though.

You should be getting pretty fast exp at your level though. Hope you're using all level 13 recipes.

When you craft a new recipe for the first time (well, once you've pristined it for the first time), you get bonus xp. So if you want lots of xp, make all the stuff in your new books. Of course, it may be a bit of a pain to get all the components, but you'll get nice xp.
Are you using your new durability buffs? If you aren't, you'll definitely have a hard time making pristines. They should make things way easier, especially in the lower levels of tier 2. If you are using them, then I don't have any advice for how to make more pristines. :(

By using the T2 durability buff set, you should be able to pristine 90-99% of your combines.

Without them it is a crap shoot!

But my big question is where are you trying to grind to? lvl 50? lvl 30? lvl 20?

At lvl 13 you are just reaching the point where you can make money from your labor. Why rush through it. When those T2 combines turn gray, you won't want to make them any longer and so you won't be seeing profit from them.

My suggestion is to organize your workflow and enjoy the process.

I tend to set aside the first crafting session of the week to make WORTs. During my next session, I make my sub combines and during the third, I make the finals. This way, I have lots of fresh product for the weekend when sales are brisk!

Start by putting a full set of armor out for sale and seeing how fast it sells. If that works out, you can expand to 2 full sets. Or one chain and one plate... or 2 and 1... or 2 and 2...

T2, both plate & chain should sell well since players have chosen their class and outgrown their original questsd armor but cannot begin the AQ series for another 5 or 10 levels.

When I was tailoring in T2, I was cranking out 3-4 full sets of cloth and 3-4 full sets of leather each week... and making BANK!!!

Savor the moment, my friend! Be a merchant! (Doesn't mean you can't adventure too!)
