Sorry for being a newbie too. But I think you can save a pose. All the stupid little dials will be saved. Than after that you can edit the pose-file in a text-editor and delete all the settings that do not belong to your face. For example delete all stuff related to thigh, feet, hip, abdomen and so on. In your case the headdials will sound familiar to you as you shure remember what you changed. Than if someone applies your pose, nothing else will be effected. And it's always a good idea to include what geometry, morphs are needed to apply you pose.
