Will 'hdparm -W /dev/hdX' not disable the write cache in this scenario?

On a standard IDE controller yes, but not permanently. You need tools from the disk manufacturer to do this.

And the scenario doesn't work when attached to a 3ware controller at all. The 3ware controller acts like a scsi device so only a single /dev/sdxX would show up.
