My biggest adjustment in going to 3 whistle (I should do this in two, but it doesn't seem to be as much a problem) is to make sure on a jump ball in the lane I just come in with my hand open, hitting the whistle and stopping play. I have the bad habit of going straight to the jump ball mechanic and in 3 whistle, with the extra pair of eyes, sometimes your C has a foul. I'm just adding that because writing it pounds it into my head.

I may be wrong on this because I don't have my books with me, but when looking at the mechanics pages in the FED book, doesn't it say to just come straight up with the "jump ball" signal? For example, if I remember correctly, when looking at that chart, anytime you have a violation, it shows you to put the hand up
plus the violation mechanic. For the jump ball, it does not show to put the hand up first, only to go straight to the "thumbs in the air."
That being said, Junker your point is well taken, and if I am wrong on what I said above here, is something that I will incorporate into my game.
