There are a lot of different situations that require different army mixes imo. Its not a simple "get this and you'll be fine" type of thing. You need to know their army mix for sure. If you don't, your chances of losing are increased by a mile.
Against terran I have been sticking to the 1 gate, robo, add another gate as soon after the robo as you can without cutting probes. That way you can get a quick obs and tailor your army to what they are making.
If they have multiple raxes with tech labs and are going marauder heavy, you should be making immortals, zeals, and sentries. I might have 1 stalker in my entire army and that is from the very early game when I go zeal stalker etc. If they attack you and you use your FFs well you will crush the push. When marauders can't micro vs zeals and you have an immortal or two to back you up they get crushed.
If they are going marine heavy they are usually teching or expanding in which case you should expand as well. Your army should be more stalker sentry based and then you can tech to colossus or temps.
1 last thing im finding, the tech switch from col - temps is the hardest tech switch for a terran to deal with. 95% of them at my level still cant deal with it well as you need to have constant info on what my army looks like and what im producing. Once it gets 3+ bases and you can afford col and temps then you can be super super aggressive and watch them rage.
Hopefully this makes sense, if it doesnt forgive me, I havent had my coffee.
