Okay, long story short.
My Pulls are strong, my HeSPU are crappy, they've always been. (I'm doing Pulls and HeSPUs in one workout)
My Dips are fairly strong, my curls are crappy (paired dips w. curls)
It feels like I'm giving all the energy in just one exercise, that being dips and pullups, and I'm simply not strong enough in the rest.
Would pairing exercises in which I'm weak (HeSPU and Curls) made me those?
Tips appreciated 
I personally would leave your routine as it is, and I am assuming you are doing a routine similar to Killroy70's. I would recommend you do the exercise you are weakest at first since you would have the most energy for that, and do your strongest ones last when cumulative fatigue slowly sets in. Let me know how that works out for you.
I've already tried that, believe me, it won't work.

Hmm, maybe do some more handstand work (holding freestanding handstands, wall handstands, etc) and perhaps take a step back and work on pike presses may help. Or it could be the other way around and you might not be resting enough. For curls, I can't give you advice on that since I don't do them myself.
what are you doing right now, currently?
Pulling/HeSPU:
4 rounds of:
A1 – 1-3 HeSPU (strenght is really fluctuating)
A2 – 3 Pull-up +10kg
B1 – 4 Wide Pull-up
B2 – 1-3 HeSPU
C1 – 2x OAC iso. Hold 5s.
C2 – Shoulderstand iso. Hold 10s.
Dipping/Curl:
4 rounds of:
A1 - 2 PB dips + 18kg
A2 - 4 Curl tuck
B1 - 5 Korean Dips
B2 - 4 Reverse negative MU
C1 - 5 Bulgarian Dips
C2 - 3 Biceps curl 18kg (sometimes just negatives, again fluctuating strenght)
There was time when I was able to do up to 10 HeSPU when fresh, one time even, I was able to do something like 10x4 HeSPU in a workout.
