Two Things

1. When you started throwing with the disk in line with the forearm did it feel awkward? It puts a weird strain on the inside of my forearm and some of my thumb muscles.

2. The driving articles I've been reading mention not to curl your arm around the disk. When I put my arm in the wrist down position, I naturally have to curl my wrist around the disk to have the stability for a decent power grip.

Does this make sense?

To me wrist down is a strain and unnnatural, but I was nearing a point where it seemed nothing was helping my throw and when I felt like i kept the wrist down one time, the disc just came out so clean and soared level. It was sweet, so I try to put effort into getting hte muscle memory make it feel more natural.

I'm not positive about what the articles mean by curling and what you think they mean by curling your wrist in. I thought they meant not to curl your hand in towards your underarm. Seems like you might think it means curling your hand around the disc? Probably not, but if your grip isn't feeling try using a fork grip. I don't really know if I like it better than the power grip, but getting a comfortable fork grip showed me what a comfortable power grip is.

The overall improvement of my throw has caused me to do uncomfortable things a bit. Like its not comfortable and natural for me right now to get a nice follow through, and to adjust my arm in such a way to throw the disc level or anhyzer. Comfortable for me is basically ripping a long hyzer curver. I can tell the more I practice though, the more the correct technique seems comfortable.

It may feel akward at first, and may even strain parts of your arm and wrist that aren't used to channeling such power. They will strengthen and this won't be a problem with repetition.
As far as your arm being curled goes...I think that you are just describing the fact that when you are in a wrist down position, your wrist is "cocked" and ready to allow your tendons to bounce with more range and power on your rip.
