im 5'10, 180 lbs, and an intermediate snowboarder. I was thinking about buying a K2 w.w.w. board , mainly because i ride park and rarely ride powder. any suggestions?

I think that K2 makes great boards, but I've never ridden this particular freestyle board. Try this great snowboard size calculator on the web that also gives recommendations:
http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm
A rough guess for your height / weight (freestyle) would be 155cm. Also, if you have size 11 or larger, you may need a "wide" board - you don't want your toes and heels to drag when turning. That web site will suggest boards wide enough for your foot size. You can get bindings with "lifters" built in that lift your boot higher off the board and prevent your boot from touching in most conditions.
Good Luck

It got a Good Wood award. It's kind of a small board, so make sure it is the right width for your feet. I'v never ridden a K2 board before, only Nitro and Santa Cruz.

Yeah that sounds like a good board for you, based on your weight and height a good size for you would be a 155. Other good boards that you could look into are Rome Artifact, Ride Kink, Apo Selecta, Burton Blunt, Capita Stairmaster, Batalleon Evil Twin, Signal Park Series, Good Luck.
