As a long time crafter, my advice would be to concentrate on any skills, items or abilities that help you recover power faster. Not just a larger power pool, but specifically faster inate power recovery.
Having your power recover faster means you can afford to spam that duribility skill to prevent a failure or the progress skill to finish faster.
I have a specific set of "crafting clothes" I wear. Not just things that give my crafting skills a boost, but items that increase my power recovery. This way I almost never have to spend time waiting for power so I can craft my next item.
