Is there a "rule of thumb" rating calculation to go by? For example, "For every 50 points higher/lower than your oponent you are, a win adds X points to your rating, and a loss takes away Y points from your rating." Anything like that at all? The rating calculation on the FAQ seems too lengthy for a quick-glance calculation.

Every 25 points rating difference gives you 1 point more if you win. Or 4 points for every 100 points difference. If you are equal in rating you get 16 points.
This works approximatively, only a rule of thumb. And only between non-provisional players and players below 2100 points in rating.
