I'm looking to see if there are any good pocket guides that can help me out. I've been trying to play pocket for a while now, but me and the class just don't work together. Pretty much need a guide that thoroughly explains pocket mentality, roles, when to push, and other important things related to gamesense. Most people just say that pockets easy and all you do is stick with the med, but that doesn't help me at all.
The guides I've found usually just spent an hour talking about sensitivity and config, without even touching upon gamesense.

I don't think this is exactly what you are looking for, but this pov of lansky with comms could probably help. There is also the MGE Video Archive. Watching high level povs with comms helped me a lot and I hope it does for you.

I know this doesn't cover everything you're asking for but it's a start. If you're looking to play the hardcore pocket role your communication is important.
These two threads I've bookmarked might help you with comming:
http://www.teamfortress.tv/8384/main-calling - Plat's post is really good at the bottom.
http://www.teamfortress.tv/9052/?page=1 - Hooli's Guide on Team Cohesion
If you're looking to be more successful with transitions and ubers:
http://www.teamfortress.tv/18314/good-ubers-as-pocket - Marxist, marm, and yuki gave good posts about it.
I may not be the best but these are resources I've tried to follow.

Currently also exporting an old i49 pov demo review of mine that I did. "gameplay/playstyle" is somewhat 'outdated', but a lot of the concepts still stay e.g. some early ubers to hold position rather than milk, etc etc.
