What you're suggesting won't work. Texture addressing 
(D3DTSS_ADDRESS[U,V,S]) and texture coordinate wrapping (D3DRS_WRAP[0-7]) 
apply at different stages in the 3d pipeline and have different effects.

Texture addressing affects what happens when a texture lookup
is done with coordinates outside the range 0 to 1 - D3DTADDRESS_REPEAT
ignores the integer part of the coordinate, D3DTADDRESS_CLAMP samples
on the edge of the texture, etc.

Texture coordinate wrapping affects interpolation of texture coordinates
across a triangle. When wrapping is enabled for a component of a texture
coordinate set then interpolation takes the shortest route across the
triangle (considering 0 to be next to 1). So if we have a triangle with
one vertex with texture coordinate (0.7, 0) and another vertex with
texture coordinate (0.1, 0) and wrapping is enabled then pixels between
the two vertices will get coordinates starting at (0.7, 0) and going up to 
(1, 0) then from (0, 0) up to (0.1, 0). With wrapping disabled the 
coordinates will start at 0.7 and go down to 0.1.
