I been half assing my test and score lower than I can. Not sure if I should take it a 3rd time or not. Do they look down upon it as they do with the MCAT?

They won't look down on it if you do better. 🙂

Exactly. I've known an Asian friend, taking it three times just to improve her reading score and was told that the dental schools being impressed with such determined efforts to boost her applications.

if you KNOW you can do better then it wont hurt you..but, if you do worse (even if you tell them you are focusing on one section and it is obvious by your score) it WILL hurt you...i haven't found a d-school that has told me that focusing on raising one section will be beneficial..they say to try and improve on all sections if you retake it
