I don't get it... In all cases you desire something and in all cases you have no guarentee that your desire will be met.

A better word for "faith" would be "taking leave of one's senses". If you analyse it, thats what it boils down to. In any other field of study or topic when one wants to understand what's going on or make a prediction about whats going to happen, one uses one's senses, logic, reason, actual data and observes the natural world for clues and facts. In religion, one is told to forget all that and just have "faith".

Heb 11:1 says that "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." KJV
For a thorough handling of faith see the rest of the chapter there in Hebrews 11.
Wishing and hoping have nothing to do with faith.

A wish can come true but is simply a desire.
A hope is the same as a wish
Faith can be the same thing unless you are refering to Faith in God.
Faith from God is a gift and through this gift comes revelation.
Through revelation comes a personal relationship with a loving God.
A man can have faith and wishs and hope in many things but only the Faith that he receives from a living God brings the revelation of truth which brings eternal life.

Faith is BELIEVING!! Hebrew 11:1...Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

To wish, to hope, and to have faith: I wish for things I think I will never get, but, they are fun to wish for.
I hope for things that I expect to get.
I have faith in what I KNOW I will get.

For some reason, you can build an entire belief system on having faith (blind faith that is).
That's the only difference that I can see.

wishing is when you want something really really bad
hoping is when you just want to hope for something better
having faith is best used in religious conversations or when u meet the church people or some religious freek
