Something I see as one of the biggest errors affecting intermediate players is gratuitous faking.
If it was just unnecessary or inefficient, fine, but it's not - it's detrimental.
More than just requiring extra concentration (and it is much harder to look downfield, listen to the stall count AND fake endlessly - maybe not for women, but guys can't multitask) but often the commitment to a fake will cause you to be out of position to throw to a perfectly legitimate option.
Don't make the D's job any easier - fake only if you want to move your marker into a position that is more convenient for you, the thrower.

If not, it is worth a read. Elaborates on the points you have mentioned.
wetnose beat me to it

faking =/= pivoting
i don't entirely agree with idris's views on the subject, i might save my pivoting post for later
i still laugh at people falling for i huck fake when you are the deepest player. that is wetnoses signature move.
