Default Annoying TT hand...top set from the blinds

It seems to me that sets out of the blinds in unraised pots are very difficult to get paid off on, which makes a case for making small and somewhat annoying raises with them in order to build a pot should you hit. But that's a somewhat different question for a different thread.

Here's a TT hand where I felt very lost the whole way. All advice welcome.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

MP ($197)
CO ($156.85)
Button ($108.35)
Hero ($194.90)
BB ($102.45)
UTG ($170.60)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $1.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $2, CO calls $2, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($8) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $2</font>, MP calls $2, CO calls $2, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $12</font>, BB folds, MP calls $10, CO folds.

Turn: ($36) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

What's my line here?
