Miles:
Just let me ask one small question then:
Why can Krum perform Crucio on Cedric, while he has no will of his own
(being imperiused), so he is not able to enjoy or "really want" to hurt
Cedric? Can this joy really been imperiused as well?
Or is this just a flaw on JKR's part?

The students at Durmstrang are taught the Dark Arts, which might just include a few unforgivable curses too. He probably already had the ability to cast the curse, making him the one to be imperiused instead of Fleur. 
   
Another thought I had about Draco and the duelling club scene....Personally, I believe he knew how to do that before he even entered Hogwarts. I highly doubt his father, who makes sure that Draco knows way more information than any other of the kids at Hogwarts, would have let him set foot in Hogwarts without a few or more tricks up his sleeve.
