Just Made A Warlock and Need A little Advice

Hi I made a Warlock and it's been really fun. I am only level 7 but I can tell already how fun it is.
What a want to know is how I should proceed with my ability score increases.
I created the character before considering things. Hopefully I didn't set her up wrong.
Anyway here is screenshot of character sheet and ability scores:

You can see i ended up with sort of well rounded scores. I didn't want to max anything because frankly when you create the character and are in the screen that asks you to roll the scores you cannot see what each ability actually does. If you mouse over say, Strength, all it says is some brief general explanation that strength helps a character? Totally useless info IMO when considering how important it is. So I went as well rounded as possible.
To Cryptic: please change the character creation screen when rolling ability scores to include the same mouse-over text you get from the in-game character sheet abilities. Example: character creation screen mouse-over strength for warlock and all it says is some general thing, Strength is helpful? Mouse over Strength in-game and it says way more information about exactly what strength will do!
The scores are:
Str: 11
Con: 15
Dex: 10
Int: 15
Wis: 12
Cha: 17
I would like to know how many points I should put into them as I level to 60, or at least which ones to focus on and which ones to ignore. Thanks! Also, if anyone wants, please let me know how I should build her feat-wise.

almost every SW pushes on the Constitution stat as heavily as possible though.
my end stats were 24 Con (without belt), 18 Int/Cha
I do PvP and PvE personally so I went the route of Tanky Fury spec
only thing I can really tell you, is that at 60 u will want to be no lower than 35% crit rate realistically. 40% is noticeably better but 4-45% was less noticeable.
your Int stat, the higher that is, the less Armor penetration you will require in PVE, and will make it easier to stack higher in PvP, also Int will augment your recharge speed.
Refchard speed is one of those things that you can definitely get away with not stacking on, but at the same time if it is stacked, it can greatly increase your DPS.
again I went middle of the road here so that I wasn't lacking in any particular area, but excelling where the HP and defenses are concerned so that I can compete in PvP
so I guess, the real question is, do you plan to be competitive in PvP or PvE only?
Actually, I am not a PvP player for several reasons. I am not adverse to it though, and would like to do some in the future. But I am grinding through the game slowly, and trying to do things on the cheap. It might be another year before I have enough AD to buy decent enchantments. And until I get them I won't feel confident enough to enter pvp. Also, I think I need a new PC first which I can't afford right now. Basically I am PvE for the foreseeable future.
CON: Mainly for damage bonus, the HP isn't really important for PvE but it's a very good additional bonus.
CHA: Because it gives you crit chance and a few of the most important features in a SW depends on your critical chance.
INT: Even though is listed as secondary AS, it is not really important unless you are going to be full PvP, this stat will give you resistance ignored but there are many ways to get the same stat so investing in this area isn't a good idea.
I agree with this. As you level you then raise con and cha every chance you get. Personally I like the cha belts as well for more crit.
Aelar Hawkwind - Archer
Karrin Feywinter - Mistress of Flame
Errin Duskwalker - Executioner
Darquess - Soulbinder
I dont quite understand what you mean.. So far he mentioned he will not really PvP so I think he will be more than fine..
I dont see lock boxes being a serious suggestion and 1m AD to buy gear? T1 and T2 gear is extremely cheap now, you will need alot of AD for good Companions and Artifacts sure, but a PvE SW can make due with nearly anything as long as you got yourself the Accursed Diabolist gear (at the very least)
