Okay, so I have an Omen.
I tried using lasers, medium ones too slow to track, small ones either too short range or not enough damage.
I also tried hybrid turrets, pretty similar effect.
Does anyone have any advice as to how I should set up for these? Or just go back to lvl 1 until I have more cash/assets together?

The omen should be able to handle most level 2 missions with the right skills. Most rats in level 2 missions are frigates, so small guns will typically be more effective than mediums due to their tracking. One thing that is also very important is to tank for the damage you will see in the mission. Use a site like missions to lookup the damage you will see on a particular mission and add hardeners to counter them. To get a better idea of some typical setups, look at the ship setup thread stickied in the ship/module forum.
Hope this helps you out somewhat.

Medium beams should work just fine if you're using a webbifier to slow the frigates down.

Perhaps it's not the ship but your laundry list of skills that need attention.
Once you get a good chunk of gunnery and mechanic skills under your hat you'll notice a huge difference in the output of your gunships. The Omen is great, but if you're just getting into lvl 2's a Mauler is actually a much better choice and early on actually out damages the Omen go figure.

Consider using drones too. Omen will hold 3 Light Scout drones, and even basic Tech 1 lights will rip through the frigates you find in a L2 mission.
Tracking Computer helps your guns track better and gives them a bit more range. A target painter gives a similar effect by making the sig radius of the target larger (this helps your drones too).
To go with medium guns but better tracking, go with pulse lasers. Dual versions generally track better but have less range and damage.
As you get to L3 and L4 missions, dealing with the smaller frigates with your main guns will get harder and harder, even with better skills. I really recommend boosting your drone skills to compensate. Tech 2 drones really rip stuff up.

This is a skills problem completely, not a ship problem. Tho it could be a tanking problem as well, you may have a horrible setup that you didn't list.
