I also use a diamond blade in a circular saw. I only use water when cutting floors though.

Cut the top and bottom mortar joints then make your vertical cuts. If you cut in the butt joints you'll only need to cut every other brick. Then make cuts in a few horizontal mortar joints inside the area to be torn out. Use a hammer and chisel or a roto hammer to break up the first couple of bricks. Once you get a few bricks out the rest will come out easy. Do the same on the opposite side. Then make some cuts in the joints of the middle row of bricks. You won't be able to cut around the perimeter so you'll have to chisel or roto hammer the vertical cuts. Use a GOOD dust mask when cutting the bricks and mortar. It's really not a difficult project if you have the right tools.
