Is it possible to set auto IP blocking to only trigger for issues pertaining to things like "Admin Query String", "SQL Shield" and NOT incorrect logins? I have users that never seem to remember their credentials and before I can reset it for them, they've locked themselves out of the site completely. I'd still like to auto-block certain types of offenses, just not all of them.

...or they remember their password just fine but, like me, they can't type it!
Go to Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, on the Hardening Options tab, set "Treat failed logins as security exceptions" to No. Now they won't get locked out for a bad password.
But, you need to have something else in place to protect your back end login screen. You can use Password Protect Administrator or the Secret Login Parameter. Without one of them, the bad guys can just hammer your back end login trying to guess the password.
