If you don't have webhosting with us, then you wouldn't set your nameservers to our. Instead, you'll keep your nameservers set to the default, with your registrar, then create some A records. One A record would be for the subdomain "@" and the other would be for "www", and both would point to the IP address of your VDS.

Not a problem! Yeah, each DNS change has to propagate individually, so they seem to have just happened at different rates.
