Two pair against 3-bet: Straight/Set kills me often.

Agreed.

Judging from the great range of advice/discussion here, I'm going to try keeping the pot small with hands like this and be happy winning at least a little.

As was pointed out, win a little or lose a lot - I know which I'd rather do....

Also even if not on the flop, chances are at the low levels I'm playing at if somebody has middle or bottom pair (with 72 etc.) than I'm getting called and calling/losing anyway, which is another reason why I like the idea of keeping the pot small.

Thank-you everyone for the help.
