I'm still toying around with the warrior.. very early days yet (level 10'ish).. so obviously no hope of even having TM yet if I were going that way.
I do switch stances a lot, begin a fight with charge, then usually use the additional rage to battle shout, sunder or thunderclap (I know, it's lame but it does slow them by 10%) then switch to defensive and sunder, sunder, sunder.
I've discovered exactly what you suggest: keep an eye on your rage and drain it as close to zero just as you switch stances. I always build up to sunder/tclap, hit it, then switch so that I lose at most 1-3 extraneous rage points.
Of course things are going to change at higher levels.

I'll spam elsewhere ;)
