So I used rockmymo to get root. Now I read the unlocking won't void warranty (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538366) so I went ahead and requested an unlock key.

What do I need to do now to have a fully rooted phone and get the kitkat update? Do I need to remove rockmymoto first?

My general idea is that I should:
1. Remove rockmymoto somehow or revert to stock??
2. Unlock per motorola instructions
3. install a custom bootloaders like clockwork mod
4. Install supersu from clockwork mod
5. Get kitkat OTA update
??

Give me some guidance, this stuff is kinda blurry for me.

You can unlock your boot loader with Rockmymoto installed but you can't install the ota, rockmymoto high jacks the stock recovery and the stock recovery is required to flash the ota. Now saying that , there is away to flash the ota without accepting it, you need to flash the fxz kitkat firmware for your carrier but only T-Mobile and Verizon versions are available now.
Flashing the fxz will basically put your phone to 100% stock and which point you can flash twrp recovery and superuser to gain root. Flashing twrp requires a unlocked boot loader.
I would wait and see if jcase comes up with a method if maintaining root for kitkat, patience and wait for the waters to clear before you jump head first, it will only be a matter if days b4 kikat arrives for all carriers.
What my plan is to wait for the Rogers kikat fxz file to be available as I unlocked my boot loader 3 months ago and I am running the stick deodex rom with twrp recovery. I would have to rsdlite back to stock in order to flash the ota, not willing to lose all my data again
