Well first of all having played all factions is vital , it will help you alot learning about the factions you are actually not playing. Why ? Because you see what your opponents use ( strats / buildorders etc. ).

I will leave out the obvious stuff (working on unitpreservation/micro and so on).

I think what is most important is to read your opponents. Being able to see what unit will be likely to hit the field next and to react properly to it.

The best way to achieve that is to play, at best all factions for a while.
Some are more fun than others - for some people that is. I do not play USF e.g. - but i did play them a bit.

Also watching streams/replays/Observer mode of good players will most likely vastly improve your play

Few tipps from me:

Use Hotkeys (this is very important), watch the doctrines of the opponent when the game is loading to know what is coming, use as many different units you can, surprise your opponent with flanks,watch your flanks, move your units around (don't camp at one place), retreat them early enough, use healing at the base, lay mines, use cover as much as you can.

I hope that helps a little!

About playing all factions, it is very important but you don't have to play them online (imho), you can play them in custom games vs. AI. It is very helpful to know the abilities from the units and doctrines they have.
