I would recommend puttingeverything in the mind stats. 1000 mind and as much in willpower and focus as you can. You will always have to buff but if you are in a fix you can do powerboost once you get it and give yourself a 15 min buff for free.
Do the speed branch first, I forgot which one it is - power techniques i think

Willpower and Focus are important, but not essential. TKAs don't need those stats any higher than any other profession. The only reason to make them high is if you have trouble getting brandy/ahrisa or musician buffs.
The one thing that you'd be crazy not to do is maxing our your Mind stat. Because of the way Powerboost works you're wasting points by not maxing it. Every point taken out of Action and Health and put into Mind is returned when you Powerboost, so you lose nothing to those pools and gain a lot in Mind.
For example, look at this set up:
Health 900
Action 900
Mind 900
You Powerboost which adds half of your Mind pool to all of your pools. Half of 900 is 450, so you end up with:
Health 1350
Action 1350
Mind 1350
If you migrate 50 points out of Health and Action, and add them to Mind, you end up with the following stats:
Health 850
Action 850
Mind 1000
Then when you Powerboost, it adds half of 1000 which is 500 to each pool, as follows:
Health 1350
Action 1350
Mind 1500
So you see, Health and Action stayed the same while you gained 150 points of Mind. So it doesn't pay not to migrate your Mind to its maximum.

Well, generally, yes, it makes more sense to dump everything into mind. But, that said, there are occassions when you don't want to do that.
Like in my case, I fight a *lot* unbuffed. So for me, it's better to have even stats with high secondaries. Specifically my health/action/mind is set at 800 with my secondaries around 500. Now powerboost and add food on top of that and I can be pretty effective and even wear heavier resistance armor without doctor buffs.
It really all depends on what you do and how you fight as to what to set your stats too. Race plays a big role too. But,if you just don't know for sure, max out your mind stat once you get powerboost, keep your secondaries all at 400 or higher, then put the remaining points into mind secondaries and health/action.
Use that for a bit then see where you feel you could fine tune it to suit your style. Also, Action and Mind are the two most important to TKMs. Action only because VK's have high action costs. So, always consider your health secondaries your lowest priority.

Can any TKM give me any info on what would be a wise stat migration, considering the specific drains of TK sp attacks, or care to list your stats that you've had migrated for optimum performance?
As a side question, what order should the four trees of TK be done?

Your pools are all at 800, which means 1200/1200/1200 with Powerboost.
If you migrated to 700/700/1000, you'd be at 1200/1200/1500 with Powerboost.
There's really no reason not to migrate.

In my experience, you'll want to put as much into your mind as possible. Then you can get your health and action buffed, so that's out of the way and not a problem. Dance and music buffs will increase your mind for 2 hours, if they're good, and arhissa and brandy as well.
I don't recall my exact stats atm, but I always get health and action buffs. I get a dance buff for my mind, and music for focus and willpower. Three arhissa and two brandy to make sure. 
With this system, I've never had a problem. I used to be a dancer, so all my points were in action and my mind was the first thing to go. But a little snip here and a tuck there to my stats made all the difference.
