At fields that aren't used to helis they tend to make you use the runways (nah, we don't need to them and getting to them is usually an ache) and use the circuits.
Flying at fields where they are either used to helis or they know you they'll usually cut you some slack and let you go where you know you're safe to be, direct approaches to various points. But we whirly wings need to remember that the tower can usually see all the taxiways, but they might not be able to see us in dips on the grass hence sending you where they know and can see.
Whirls, I'll add another few to your list, we also like to land and take off into wind given a preference. And to expand on your vertical, I was asked as they were busy whether I could come in above their normal circuit height and descend to the pumps vertically...... Obviously been watching too much Budgie the Helicopter....
On the flip side, most places charge us more to land a heli - that doesn't touch the runway - than a SEP. The only way we can get good value is to scrape a good sparky fulldown every now and then!
Bottom line is I think there's no more and no less bad airmanship from rotary pilots than from fixed wing (I fly both), and hopefully the average rotary pilot has a good understanding of what can tick people off as so many people tend to dislike rotary traffic - for instance I try never to shoot autos into the same place twice, I figure that seeing and hearing a helicopter on a Sunday morning can be interesting the first time, but by the tenth the level of excitement has waned somewhat...
