I have found this site very helpful in mapping out my characters. Hope it helps.

For leveling, keep Puncturing Sweep in slot one, then put whatever else you you want to level in slot 2-5. Puncturing Sweep alone will let you handle just about anything.

You will have plenty of skill points to spread around the higher level you get, so don't worry about "wasting" them. Get all the passives too, as soon as they come up as is possible.

If you are going magicka based build, stop putting points into stamina and focus on a split between health and magicka. Find yourself a destruction staff (fire usually preferred) and level that set of skills also. Don't forget about Mages Guild line also. Very good stuff in there.

In my short experience thus far I have found that templars are magic and stamina heavy. I would say, since your an imperial, you should stick with that scaling. With just a bit more in magic. I have my templar set up to six points in magic, four in health, and five in stamina. I have an orc, however, so I can get away with less investment in health due to passives. Hope this helps.

You can play how you want, but for effective leveling put all your points and enchants into magicka, and use puncturing sweep from lvl 1-50 it's great single target, aoe and it heals you based on how much damage you do. For Passives, the aim is to get all of them in each of your three class trees, but the strongest Passives for Templars are in the aedric spear tree. Burning light gives you a chance for extra damage on every aedric spear hit, and biting jabs/puncturing sweep hit everyone in range 4 times, so you have 4 chances on every mob to proc burning light. Also you get extra damage on your crits and extra damage to blocking targets. One if the other really good Passives is in dawn wrath it's called illuminate and it gives a % increase to your spell damage and everyone else who is near you.

So I can always just redistribution my Abaility and Skill points in the future for coin correct? If I do mess up and realize I wanna play a different way haha

Sort of. Remember, if you have an undeveloped Skill Line you won't actually be able to put Skill Points in until you progress a bit. Each active and passive ability beyond the introductory tiers will require a certain Skill Rank to unlock access.

So using heavy armor isn't a good choice for me? I have already put some skill points into that line

That's okay, personally I put points into all the heavy armour passives that don't require 5 pieces.

You just need to find a way that suits you.

There are plenty of strategies but using 5 warlock pieces (head, shoulder, neck, ring, ring) 2 Heavy (chest & legs) and the rest light (seducer inc weapon) helps with magicka regen suits the way I play. It's probably not optimal but I like magicka and didn't want to go destruction staff as I already have a sorc playing that way.

also will try some warlock pieces as well

Orrrrr do I finally go after something in my Restoring Light line haha
