Hitting the tailwheel first is a "show off" thing to do. Unless you're really REALLY nose up, it won't be a problem at all. When I'm landing tail draggers, it's what I usually aim for.

So, no, landing a tail dragger isn't really different than landing a trike. Things do happen differnetly if you come in too hot, but the techniques used to slow the plane down, establish a glide path, line up with the runway, and flair all work exactly the same.
