There are several threads on the dido and how to outfit it, when to get it, what guns to use etc. Suggest you read through them since they are full of some great info and different opinions. Toss a few points into bulkhead then the rest into belt. You have no range so you'll have to get in close and leg hump people. This means their shots will be striking your belt. Personally never bothered with torps, UK ones suck at low level and I always preferred the extra armor. Guns: first useable set of 5.25s come at level 30 (earlier set has crappy reload), but the dido is better with the dual 6s at level 33. Once I got the dual 6 Ns, I never switched until I got an edin. Loaded a HE heavy in one spot and HE light in the other. Then let my gunners level away so my spread would improve... some might say to use the Ls, but just wasn't worth it for me... all depends on your gameplay style.
Since you're almost 33, wait until then, no point in buying a set of guns for half a level then losing some of their value when you trade up to the 6s.
