How should I play the Middle-earth: Shadow of War DLC?

You should finish at least the Gondor storyline in the base game in order to have full understanding of DoM storyline. And finishing Act 3 is preferrable before starting BoG. I would say finish Act 3 of the Main game, Blade of Galadriel, and then Desolation of Mordor
Mordor
Etymology. From Mordor, a bleak realm ruled by the dark lord Sauron, in J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth. Tolkien created the name in his constructed language Sindarin, from mor (“dark, black”) and dor (“land”).

. Although BoG doesn't have any tie ins to DoM.

When should I start the DLC to Shadow of War?

I believe the general recommendation is to play BoG (or at least the conquest of Gorgoroth) after finishing the main game story. DoM is fairly self-contained, so it doesn't matter quite as much when you play it, but story-wise, it makes sense to play it after finishing the Gondor quest line in the main game.

Do I need to play Shadow of Mordor DLC before Shadow of War?

Yes. I would say in just about every way possible. It deepened the story. Shadow of Mordor's story was disappointingly short, but Shadow of War's has many more storylines and characters, plus it is about 60 hours longer (if you play to the very end).

Are the DLCS for Shadow of War worth it?

The DLC are worth it - together, in a season pass. Individually, however, the only one I'd consider worth it is Deslation of Mordor considering that it unlocks a whole new (optional) region and has the most replayable DLC story.

Should I do DLC before Lord of Cinder?

Honestly, I prefer to do Soul of Cinder last, after the DLCs and bonus areas, and everything else. Condering Yuria vanishes post-cinder, yet she has extra dialog for the DLCs, I do think you are supposed to do the DLCs first. Also killing Souls of Cinder gives you the option to NG+, but it does not force you to.
