Would a warrant officer have to go to ocs if he wishes to become a regular officer?
He would but most of them don't want to be in the "O" officer series--lieutenant, captain, major... In the Army, there are seven groups of people. The first group is the Lower Enlisted--private through specialist. They come into the service, go through training and are assigned to a unit as workers. Workers who demonstrate the potential for leadership are made into Noncommissioned Officers--sergeants and staff sergeants. They have two functions: more advanced knowledge of their jobs, and leading a few soldiers. There are then Senior NCOs--sergeants first class, master sergeants, first sergeants and sergeants major. They have even more advanced knowledge of their jobs, plus they lead many soldiers. A Division Sergeant Major can lead tens of thousands of soldiers, and a corps sergeant major can lead fifty or sixty thousand. Warrant officers have the most advanced knowledge of their jobs. Most of them don't have defined leadership roles, which allows them to serve as advisors to enlisted and NCO. Company grade officers are lieutenants and captains. They have general knowledge about many different jobs--an artillery officer needs to know something about the entire indirect fire field, but he usually won't know as much about forward observation as a forward observer, or as much about firing as a gun section chief. Their job is to lead and to plan small actions. Field grade officers--majors and colonels--lead lots of troops and have more knowledge than company grade officers. General officers lead large formations like divisions and corps. Warrant officers are specialists in their field; except for pilots warrant officers are drawn from the ranks of sergeants. Most of them don't want to join the "commissioned officer" ranks and become generalists. A sergeant who wanted to be a generalist would have gone to OCS instead of to Warrant Officer Candidate Course.
