I'm using a set of Callaway X-14 Steelheads. I find that the irons are a bit too long for me. I'm 5'8" but with longer arms than average. Is there a site that I can go to to determine correct club length for my height or must I see a clubmaker?

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

But a custom man will be invaluable. There is no qualified definition of 'standard' - a standard 5 iron is about 37.5", but can fluctuate up to 3/4" either way.

Re: Shaft Length
It's a good starting point, yes, but your concerns/points are quite valid - hence the need for a dynamic fitting.

Re: Shaft Length
I agree. If you are lookig for the best fitting, see your local club making professional. Measurements of hand to floor give you a great starting point, but may not work for everyone. While at the fitter, if you are a bit on the shorter side, get them to adjust the lie a degree or two flat. This will help you to keep the heel of the club taking the divot and it will allow the shaft to be slightly longer so you don't lose too much distance.
