I think that something as simple as the following set of instructions will go a really long way:
1) To try a bulk upload from command-line run:
curl -d '{"docs":[{"key":"baz","name":"bazzel"},{"key":"bar","name":"barry"}]}' -X POST http:/127.0.0.1:5984/yourDbName/_bulk_docs
2) To try a bulk upload from a file, make sure to edit the json file such that it has {"docs":[ in the starting and ]} in the ending, then you may run:
curl -d @your_file.json -X POST http:/127.0.0.1:5984/yourDbName/_bulk_docs
