Im not on the right computer to look at replays or whatever, but as a zerg, I can tell you what annoys the heck outta me in a PvZ.

- As a protoss, if you move out, you will notice a single zergling near your base. Simply moving out and attacking that will force a zerg player to react. Do it often enough and you can make the zerg player react enough to make his economy a bit slower. The economy is what you really have to fear, not the units. The units are only a result of the economy.

- If the zerg player is not reacting heavily, move your army over to their base, then back off. They will DEFINITELY react, if not overreact. They will be making army units and not drones, which really does hurt their offense in the later stages of the game.

- Harrass as much as you possibly can if you get voidrays, just dont lose them. Keep them in your main army once defences are up to stop harrassment that you are trying. Yet again, this is to combat the zerg economy.

- Dont try going 1base, unless the zerg is crap at reacting to your army. Most will be beyond this stage of early zerg play though.

- Since the zerg will typically have a larger army, you have to work with chokes as much as possible. If you have a scarier looking army vs a decent zerg army in an open space, dont risk it. Logic like that should help you more than practicing trying to micro in such an area. If you DO get caught out, spread your forces to attempt to get a concave of some sort. Zerg concaves are super deadly and very easy to get for zerg players. For this reason, dont sit your army outside their base either... Be active with it.

- Phoenix vs overlords is pretty much all you really want to use them for. Zerg will react and get defense for it, but you should be able to stop most of their scouting this way. Just dont go phoenix heavy, I havent ever seen it work, and it will take away from you main army. On top of that, I'd say phoenix are the most likely units for protoss to lose, apart from probes.

- Cannons on your worker lines, even if only one on each, will benefit you a fair bit. Even if the zerg focuses them down with their mutas, it'll give a few more seconds for you to get over there with stalkers/phoenix/voidrays which means less probes loss. Taking into consideration the fact that you'll need a forge for upgrades and the cannon will do damage to the mutas, it should work out nicely. Although, I'd probably reccomend two cannons just for extra area covered.

I know some of that stuff is kind of basic, but everyone can always polish their basics up some more without it hurting much. Unless maybe you broke both your hands the day before. Then you probably wouldn't be able to type in this website and get to this thread anyway. But its as if someone like me would break your hands. Yet.
