Pitch and Power determine your trajectory, and your job is to control this trajectory. This is done by setting appropriate pitch and power regularly manually.
I'll agree with pitch and power and regular practice. Can't agree about the fly it like a conventional airplane, especially when things are abnormal. Auto trim for "g" and flight path make the airbus unlike a conventional aircraft.
