Great question! I always learn so much when I read how others do things. I just started shooting in RAW after I got my WhiBal card last week so I am not good at adjusting anything other than white balance in bridge yet (but I plan to work on that - I might make that a new thread). Anyway, in PS I sharpen the image as Patti described to "defog". Then I adjust the levels, curves, and finally the brightness/contrast. I'll typically dodge my catchlights slightly and that's about it unless I need to run Neat Image to lessen any grain. I usually fade that filter though - don't want it to look fake and a little grain is OK with me - I kind of like it actually. Thanks for asking!
