This is my feeling:
TsunTsun: being for more rude/harsh/ and unfriendly than normal. prickly, unsociable, arrogant whatever. A TsunDere is 90+% TsunTsun, and is their default mode. Usually they are like this for a reason: being nobility, or simply being jealous. Few people can afford to be this way for long, because you wont have many friends or business associates left in short order.
DereDere: fawning, happy, goofy, silly, blushing, needy. Almost noone is like this all the time, though some people tend to be happy and silly alot.
Cordial: the vast majority of people are sufficiently friendly and normal. They are seldom pricly except when pissed off, and seldom deredere except when drunk.

90%? That's a tad harsh. Also, a tsundere character doesn't require to be tsuntsun towards everyone. School Rumble's Sawachika Eri is definitely a tsundere but you don't see her act cold, unsociable, arrogant, etc.
Akane Tendou was definitely my first tsundere character. My (current) favourite one is Ami Ninomiya from Rough. I'm assuming that she qualifies as a Tsundere, but she's
definitely not 90% tsuntsun.
