140 trains off plate, 150 for rank 5 armor support. 90 MOC is a good stopping point til level 89 or cap.

I'd catch back up to 2x PF with those points; you get a legit penalty to your maneuverability if you're in full plate. According to an official post, "The armor penalty is a relatively significant factor. For a character exactly trained for full plate at cap, it contributes a penalty a little bit above the difference between 1x and 2x PF. Overtraining in armor to reduce the action penalty and/or using Armored evasion can reduce the maneuver penalty by a fairly significant amount, however."

Then I'd go 2x dodge and pick up some ambush ranks to help THWs connect with heads.

If you want to really free up some points I'd suggest dropping MoC down to 1x along with the above advice.

so at 66 how many ranks of ambush should i look into then?

IIRC, nnobody knows a hard and fast rule. Varies based on race and stats. Keep training it til you hit heads reliably. 25 ranks is a good start, 40 ranks seems to be the high end.
