Hei, allle sammen.

I am playing Austria in MP (all dlcs) and we have reached the mid 1569. I have integrated the Magyars, Bohemia, Northern Italy, most of the lower Rhein and Brandenburg. HRE is a pushover. I am Catholic and occasionally emperor.

The world situation is as such. The unholiest of alliances exists between me and Ottoman. France holds most of the Netherlands but lost his Mediterranean holdings to my ally Spain. Poland is AI and everybody favorite stress ball. Muscovy didn't annex Novgorod until 1500 so I'm not really afraid of him. Oh, and the Danish dude is doing his thang in Scotland.

This is new water for me. There is a lot of salt going around and I use most of my day plotting behind peoples back, as any MP should :D. But I fear for my ideas. How rubbish are they? I use vassalise, feed, diplo-annex, a lot. Yet I am running out of HRE. Should I go for Prussia? Should I go Germany? Get quality a long with defensive and keep trucking for the Austrian way?

Any tips would be helpful =)

A screenshot would help. As for ideas, Austrian ones are not that bad, but Prussian and Italians are superior.

You need to culture switch and change religion to form Prussia. Not impossible, but it might leave you vulnerable in a MP especially as other players will realize what you are doing. I'd go for Italian before Prussian.
Are all players in Europe or are they spread worldwide? Oversees expansion can be quite lucrative since the addition of the state system.
