After squeezing out 4 reps on your last set, drop some weight and squeeze out 4 more or leave it at 4?

Going to fatigue and using drop sets is a good way of pushing through a sticking point.

Thought you might say that. At what point would you wear one?

Single rep's

Using the barbell to curl is not just a bicep exercise.
i would never recommend to anyone to use an ezy-curl bar, if you want healthy elbows and shoulders supinate the hand fully.

the main function of the bicep is to lift the arm over your head.

the bicep curl is a good, very good exercise but it does not train the bicep fully, to prove this.

make a fist supinate the hand, flex the bicep, now while flexed lift your arm and draw your fist down behind you back and hold and flex your bicep hard for one minute, then let me know what you feel.

So.. for truly hitting the bicep; what would one recommend?

I don't think there is one, but if one has a barbell I believe the curl is the best option mainly because (like the squat) it just builds overall growth.

in fact using the two combined with a barbell row, a chin-up, a dip in a workout is the best all-time combination, and heavyweights is the go.

Arthur Jones designed a machine that never really became popular because for the first time the exercise felt damn hard and uncomfortable.

Do you recommend specific rotator cuff exercises, if so, which ones?

Hard to find a specific machinery, but I believe a good cable set-up is the best.
angle yourself so the resistance is highest at contraction of the muscle targeted.
