Masqb I really like that you discussing here. Anyway just because 28/22 works it doesn't mean that 22/18 isn't better. Sure this is too tight for the midstaked (10/20$+) but below it works very well.
I was wrong about 22/18 anyway. Best should be 23/17 - 25/19. These should be the optimal values. This doesn't mean that YOU can win more with playing more but you could.
34% attempt to steal is the value you get if you play by the ORC. This value highly depends on your opponents (limpers, etc. as you said) so if you think that you steal well then just ignore my comment above.
Masqb the rake is aas you mentioned very important. The rake at 1/2$ is so high that if you play too many borderline hands that you lose value because of that.
There are hundreds of TAG who play with success. Maybe the polish players just need a bit more time to reach these limits as an aggressive style makes it easier to move up but it doesn't mean that it's really has more vale.
I may say the same thing again but of course you can play more aggressive but it isn't recommended to beginners and not necessary on the lower limits as well.
The Stoxtrader book is nice but not necessary on the lower limits as well. Well it's never bad to know more.
Alright now about the stats.
@Masqb: You are overdefending your BB and that is maybe the reason why your VPIP is higher than usual. This can be profitable but you should read these two articles so that you don't lose to much money postflop:

@Dippy19: May it be that you coldcall to much in the SB? Your folded SB to steal is to low and that could be the reason for your high VPIP. Your wts is borderline for this limit (ok for 2/4 and 3/6). Don't increase anymore.
@CoreySteel: I had to remove the second link as it's not restriced for bronze.
@tomzyb: Take another look at the ORC and at this article:
http://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/fixed-limit/265/
Your PFR is a bit too low. You seemed to got weaker in the SB on the higher limit. Make sure that you are not on scaredmoney. Try to get 85% for the SB and 55% for the BB.
Your wts is way to low. I think you get bluffed out too often.
If you get raied take a look it he might have raised on draw or if he is very aggressive then call him down with a good made hand even if you can't image a worse hand at his side.
@All: Please don't overrate your stats. Don't change your game because of them. If your game is good then the stats will look good as well but jthis isn't given the other way around. Good stats do not say that you really play good.
Don't start getting loser just because your stats look weak. Improve your game and the stats will become better.
Most important: The stats are highly dependant on the samplesize. It may that you just got no hands over 10k+ hands and that your wts is low because of that. Or your attempt to steal is too low because the table limps all the time ahead of you. And so on. (That means that you shouldn't overrate my comments about your stats as well.
