Well, while better gear certainly will never hurt, the first couple turns of Coil are more than doable with full Darklight and a relic weapon (+1 is nice but not required). You're already above that, so... I find their request that you get better gear a bit sad.
I would offer to take you along with my group, but we already have to rotate dps within the team as we have an overflow; it would be unfair to them to bring someone unrelated.
That said, I'd encourage you to directly ask again if you can join your FC's group for a night (even just turn 1?). Let them know you'll watch video guides ahead of time so you have an idea of what's coming and you'll obviously continue to work on your gear, but you feel you're ready to try and tackle at least the start of Coil.
