Well first of all, and this can't be stressed enough, BEG your DM to just use the standard point buy/array. 4th edition is very carefully balanced around characters having ability scores in those ranges.

If you are absolutely stuck with those stats, then you have two options: Play something that doesn't make attack rolls itself (Lazy shaman or lazy warlord), or stack up as many other attack bonuses as you can, or don't expect to hit ever.

To do the latter, you will need a race that boosts your primary stat, a class that has a weapon talent or other attack bonus, high proficiency weapon or accurate implement, expertise feat ASAP, and highest enhancement bonus you can get your hands on, plus any other stackable bonuses.

For instance, a human thief getting his dex bonus, with a background for rapier proficiency, light blade expertise, nimble blade, backstabber (bonus feat) and a +1 rapier, along with Ambush+Tactical tricks, you will almost always have CA and so be swinging at:

3 dex +3 proficiency +2 CA +1 expertise +1 Nimble Blade +1 enhancement +1 weapon talent, for +12 vs. AC, so still better than even accuracy.

And 1d8 +2d8 SA +3 dex +2 finesse +1 enhancement +1 expertise=3d8+7

With those stats, forget Barbarian. You won't hit enough to be meaningful. The above thief will throw boatloads more damage out at-will.

Now you could make a reasonable Eagle Shaman and just load up on powers that give attacks to allies and try to never make an attack yourself.

There is no excuse for the use of rolled stats in 4e. Getting a playable array for ANY class is as rare as rolling a legal paladin back in the day. You can honestly have a character whose total mods are illegally high (+2s in everything) and still be pathetic at every single class in the game. If you tell your players to roll stats in 4e, you are flat-out instructing them to cheat or lose, and you might as well just let them make up stats instead.

If you must use rolled stats, adapt the system Gamma World uses: roll two dice to find out what your two high stats are (1 = STR, 2 = CON, etc., you get a pre-racial 16 in that, if you roll the same thing twice you get a pre-racial 18 instead), and then 3d6 the other, largely irrelevant ones.

Long story short, I suggest character suicide. Alternatively, you could be a Fighter and sort of work: put your 14s in STR, DEX, WIS, pick a race that boosts strength, use a +3 weapon, and your in-class accuracy bonuses will make you semi-viable regardless.

Hey I WANTED the point buy system, but the DM had the final say. And now everything's been rolled, I'm stuck, especially as everyone else rolled much better than I did, they all at least got a 16 as a pre-racial once.

But I can't just suicide for sake of it, I can only "hope" that something comes along that can beat my character to a pulp. For the time being though I need something that can work when my two highest stats are 16 after racials., Primal or not, without duplicating a class already chosen.  

We already have a pit fighter. I know my options are limited but two fighters it's going to make me completely redundant and fighters are just boringin general.

Well then, as we've been telling you, you're basically ****ed, and you need to convince your group to play the game properly.

All light armored classes and all hit-reliant classes are unusable. If you won't take fighter, that means you could maybe build a cleric that just takes effect-line powers and has BCL, but I wouldn't expect that to be very effective or particularly fun.
