Dia Dhuit is literally translated as "God To You" but is taken to mean "how are you".
Conas a Tá Tú is Munster dialect (I think) for "How are you" and is more accurate in its literal translation. You'll also hear "Conas Ta'n tú" in Munster Irish.
All of the above are correct. Neither is more correct, or less correct than the other. They are just different ways of saying the same thing.
Bhfuil has that "w" sound because that's how Bh" is pronounced in Irish. Just like "Mh" can be pronounced as a "W" or a "V" depending on its location in the word.
Hope that helps!
Le meas,

Conas atánn tú? > conas = how; atánn = that are; tú = you (refering to only one person).
Bhfuil is pronounced approximatively "wihl". What do you mean by "whiv sound" ?

Oh..and the other thing you'll hear is:
"Cád é mar atá tú?"
This is Ulster Irish and you'll hear it more in the north if Ireland and in Northern Ireland. Still means, "how are you"...just like the other options.

No long stroke on "cad" > "Cad é mar atá tú?" often shorten to "Dé mar atá?" is what we say in Ulster Irish (Donegal).

No long stroke on "cad" No stress on it either; and because it's unstressed, the initial consonant is voiced and the vowel is neutral. See also: http://www.daltai.com/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/daltai/discus/show.pl?tpc=21&post=28716#PO ST28716

"and the other thing you'll hear is:"
You're forgetting "Conas taoi" "Cén chaoi bhfuil tú" and the fashionably cool "Conas atá?" !

Chonaic mé in Learning Irish é cúpla bliain ó, den chéad uair. Níor chuala mé riamh é, ach mhair sé i mo chloigeann, le comhartha ceiste ceangailte leis. Caithfidh go bhfuil sé, nó go raibh sé, in úsáid áit éigin! Nó... meas tú ar chum húdair é?? |

As "An Béal Beo":
Seo focail a deirtear maidir le fiafraí sláinte:
cén chaoi a bfhuil tú?
cad é (goidé) mar atá tú?
cé mar atá tú?
cén nós a bhfuil tú?
cén chaoi a bhfuil do cholainn uasal?
cén chaoi a bhfuil 'chuile bhlas díot?
cén bláth atá ort?
As conamara na leaganacha uile sin. |

Bhuel nach rud nádurtha é an leagan is simplí .i. is giorra a úsáid? Mar shampla deirtear HI níos minicí ná Hello i mBéarla. Mar sin i nGaeilge chomh maith.. Deireann muintir Chonamara "Ce chaoi bhfuil tú?" go h-an tapaidh. Agus deireann daoine de mo leithéid "Bhuel" nó "Conas tánn"
Níor chuala mé riamh - "Caidé mar atá tú" i nGaillimh - 'Sé Cúige Uladh an t-aon áit gur chuala mé é.
Na trí cinn deireanacha ansin - níor chuala mé ceann ar bith acu riamh. Mar an gcéanna i gcás do chinn TSJ.

How about 'Céén' said in a long questioning cork or kerry tone, as if to say 'what you doing, boiy?' |

Tá sin ar fáil in "An Béal Beo". Gaeilg "ársa" atá ann, agus is dóigh liom gur cailleadh cuid mhaith dá bhfuil sa leabhar sin anois, ar an drochuair. Inniu is fíor é a ráidht nach gcluinfí "cad é mar atá tú?" ach i dTír Chonaill, dar liom. Is minic a deirtear "Dé mar atá?", leagan giorraithe.

Cé'n chaoi a bhfuil tú? is the usual form of the question 'How are you?' Speaker 1 tells me, however, that Goidé mar atá tú? is sometimes used but only with a verb in the second person. When asking how anyone else is, the former construction is used.
