Taking a crash course with your reseller shoudl be the first step. They will get you going the quickest way, then perhaps in the evenings, you can take a course at a local community college or trade school that teaches Mastercam (most do).
As for the WCS... you use it to orient your views, and assign work offset . You use various methods for driving the orientation. Points, 2 lines, Solid Face, etc... You pick your method, select the geometry (if using lines, select the direction you want x in first), then Y. Use the arrow if you need to change the orientation. You will usually get at least 2 possible solutions.
Well I am kind of familiar with featurecam and very good with Delcam products in general. Featurecam is kind of like a Powermill Lite. Basically what you need to do is completely forget everything you learned about programming, because Mastercam is just so different than Featurecam that you will just drive yourself crazy trying to reconcile the 2 of them.
1.Mastercam is mostly driven by wireframe, so get used to creating alot of lines and arcs, then chaining your wrist numb afterwards. Don't use splines unless absolutely necessary. Try to use straight lines and arcs as much as possible.
I know that when I was transitioning I was not at all happy. It took me a while to learn to work around the limitations of the software and still find myself having to at times. The upside to my transition was that Cimatron's UCS (wcs) creation is similar so I didnt have any trouble figuring out how to work with them in MC which seems to be a stumbling block for some. When I go back to Cimatron now to work on older part files I start to realize that it had some limitations of its own as compared to MC (Cimatrons Macsys).
MC has progressed quite a bit in the last two versions (X5 and X6) and I am much happier now (bugs excluded). I remember the boss attempting to force me to change over back in the V9 days and even after I read about how happy people were with the software I could not understand what they saw in it (and still cant really).
I am very happy now that we are getting closer to a half way decent stock recognition even though it is more or less just a glorified version of using STL's. I do wish that they would add the ability to use it in 2d as well. It will be far more convenient than what we had in the past but sadly, i've seen far lesser systems that the stock recognition is light years ahead of what we have in MC today.
I have a friend that uses FC and has been using it for years. He shows me things in FC that are very cool. The thinking in that system is so different that I could see the transition being cumbersome to say the least.
