I "Greet" if my opponent does. I "Wow" ironically if my opponent is playing a netdecked list and takes almost their whole turn to make the most obvious play possible (since they were likely BMing anyway). I "Well Played" if my opponent actually makes a good play. I "Oops" if I misplay or do something shitty like forget to end my turn. I "Thanks" if my opponent gives me a "Well Played" or a "Wow" regardless of whether I think it's sincere. Finally, I'll "Well Played" if I lose and I actually think it was a good game or if I won and my opponent gives me one first.
Also, I've only ever threatened with Priest, and then only on the T2 heal enemy's face because I have no play or upon switching to Shadowform because I think it's funny.
Well yeah, I mean let's just say that if you drew a Venn diagram where one circle was 'kids who played competitive sport' and the other circle was 'kids who played a lot of Hearthstone' I'm guessing the intersection wouldn't be that big :)
I was a kid who fenced competitively and played D&D, various games (and would've played HS/WoW/other online competitive games had they been around). I think you'd be surprised... We'd always shake hands at the end of a bout (and when passing each other - left hands). I imagine that they do that in the US as well...
If there was an autosquelch I'd leave it on permanently- if I forget to squelch I get insanely pissed off by any use of the emotes. If something amazing happens due to randomness we both saw it. Well played just before your lethal shows you are an idiot if genuine because it generally comes across as sarcasm or gloating. If a clever play is made (unlikely in this meta of everyone playing the same decks and combos) we both saw it. Just leave the emotes alone.
If you tell me there was an error with my play, thank me at any stage in the game, give me a well played when something goes badly for me, or repeat any type of emote during play, I assume you are trying to tilt or upset me. This will definitely work on me every time. My usual response is to rope every turn thereafter till the end of the game while spamming back whatever emote you triggered me with. If I do get the upper hand in the game I'll drag out lethal and BM in every way possible.
If you want respect from the opponent, the best etiquette is to leave the emotes alone and play your turns fairly quickly. Simple.

Lol. The problem is clearly you. It has nothing to do with the game. Your mentality and lack of mental toughness is just sad and toxic.
If I have one oddity with my emotes, it's that when a priest plays his first shadowform, or the mage starts playing pirates, I Greet them. I guess it's a bit like waiting to be introduced before shaking hands, or something like that. I usually only do that with decks I find interesting, though, as sort of a thanks for playing something new and interesting rather than a deck I've seen a thousand times before.
As far as the original questions, about saying WP and such, I'd say context is extremely important; Well played only works if it could have gone either way, and thanks is usually a snarky way to respond to whatever they said. What I miss is the set of emotes you can use in TF2 (Which I also play). It would be kind of nice to make it clear what you were talking about.

So, when a warrior uses Dead Man's Hand, what does that actually mean in terms of flavor? Is he the dead man? Does he cut off his own hand? Is that why he has Tentacles for Arms? Does he think that tentacles are actually as good as arms?
These reasons and more are why I think warriors are more mysterious than people give them credit for.
1st, you need learn how to respect other deck. Never loses then come here open Nerf threads. Player nowday loses to azure drake, top deck lethal. Then ask blizzard Nerf azure. That attitude really bad.

I exclusively play pirate warrior in casual and spam as many "Thank You's" as I can, sometimes roping if I have to for maximum BM. What is this etiquette everyone is speaking of?

There must be a specific emote for pirate warriors for showing extraordinary intelligence choosing their deck.
My thoughts: squelch as soon as the turn 1 starts.
Shame Team5 for refusing to give us an autosquelch option in the options menu.
