My company recently purchased some Catalyst C2950-24 switches. They are all running the SI, with IOS version 12.1(22)EA1b. We also, shortly after acquiring the switches, installed an IP telephony system (not Cisco, unfortunately). What I am trying to do is send the phone traffic to the expedite queue, and the rest to queue 3 of the wrr queue (given the most weight). I am new to Cisco products, and fairly new to networking.

Here is a quick overview of how I have set the switches up:
. All ports have a default CoS value of 7
. Ports with phones trust the incoming CoS value (6)
. Ports with phones that have pc's on the other side of
. them have the following command on the port:
. switchport priority extend cos 7
. Uplink and trunk ports are set to use pass-through mode
. mls qos trust cos pass-through dscp
. wrr-queue setup is listed below
. wrr-queue bandwidth 1 1 255 0
. wrr-queue cos-map 1 0 1 2 3 4 5
. wrr-queue cos-map 3 7
. wrr-queue cos-map 4 6

The questions I have are this:
1) should I be using pass-through mode, or keep trusting CoS values?
2) is the switchport command even necessary since these are not Cisco phones?
3) have I left anything out?

Here is a printout of the config on one of the switches:

I apologize for the long post, but wanted to include as much info as possible. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
