Is there anyone who can give advices on fighting Warriors?

From what I was able to gather reading various forums, this should be good advices:

DO try to fear them. First time they will blow berserker rage (10 seconds, it's the icon with the pink tauren)
Second time they will pop death wish. They will be immune for 30 secs but take more damage. Third time
berserkr rage again, and from this point on they are perfectly fearable. This only applies to arenas,
or in BG if you already know the warr blew his cd's (1v1 you will just not last this long).
In 2v2, it is often a good idea to try to gib them while cc-ing their healer, especially if they do not switch in
def stance or similar during the cc on the other one, which is ALWAYS the case at ratings below 1800 I would say.

Nothing else comes to mind right now

But questions like:

Is CoW useful? And how useful? How bad is for a warr to loose 350 AP?
In an arena perspective, is it a good idea to full dot / dps the warrior during deathwish while cc-ing the healer?
Is exploiting the fact that the warrior takes more damage during the buff a good idea or is it bad in general to feed
him with rage while under dw?
How do you keep track warrior buffs and especially cooldowns on dw and berserker rage? NECB is just TOO spammy for
me, there is no way I can see what's the bar of the buff/cd while cc-ing the other, moving out of los of stuff, doting
around, draining, refreshing CoTs and such. In other words, how do you effectively fear the warrior, do you have any
tricks?
Is there any particular moment where it is useful or more appropriate to use death coil? I often find myself unsure
on whether use it, essentially because dc will often put him in intercept range, so I am trading a 3secs horror, 2mincd
for a 3secs stun, 15s cd.

Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
