Best with finger picking style but not too bad with strumming. 
I found that it's quite nice to do finger picking most of the time but strum at solo.
Also, for the Dsus4 D Dsus2 D part (which I wasn't sure about by the way), 
you should change the chords quickly and hold a while at D.
(kinda like Dsus4-D-Dsus2-D-D-D-D-D-Dsus4-D-Dsus2-D)
