Great post, and I think that this is probably one of the toughest things to master in poker.  I for one had a lot of trouble with this while learning how to play last year (I am always learning though). I would go on tilt from a bad beat, bet more losely, lose more, then tighten up completely cuz I thought I was in a rut and couldnt hit anything.
I've definately improved but could still do with a bit more improvement still.  One thing that I've found is that in most cases, if you just play enough hands, you'll even out.  Case in point, yesterday I started off horribly in my usual $.25 NL Omaha Hi-Lo ring games on PS.  The cards I drew were so bad that my VP$IP was running at about 10% (I am usually at about 20%).  Even when I got good hands, nothing was hitting and those that did were usually beaten.  Went down almost $40 within 2 hours and a couple hundred hands.  BUT... instead of getting pissed and getting out of my game-plan, I just continued to grind with what I know will work over a long period of time.  Finally, by the end of the night, I was down only $5 after about 1200 hands.  Previously I would have never recovered to this extent, but staying consistant and waiting for the numbers to catch up usually seems to work.  Can't remember the last big losing sessions I had when playing at least 1000 hands...
