I might sound repetitive but http://solomid.net/guides.php?g=21480 is a great source of informations on top lane Jarvan.. Olaf will beat you 1v1 unless you can hit your EQ AA combo every single time and manage to get away before he can retaliate (which can work, I don't really know), but what makes Jarvan IV a good pick against him is that your ult is the only crowd control effect that works against Ragnarok.

You're basically forcing Olaf to take Flash instead of Ghost, if he doesn't take Flash he will be very easily ganked if your jungler isn't a complete retard, if he does he can't Ghost + Ult in teamfights and stomp your carries.

As for Yorick.. I have no experience of that matchup but as a Jarvan and Yorick player, there are several things that might help : before his first back to base Yorick has huge mana issues. Abuse that if you can.

Look carefully at what he's building, going straight for Manamune like Most Yoricks do makes him rather squishy, if he goes for something like Glacial Shroud, he will still have mana issues which you can abuse.

Ask for ganks though as he's easy to gank and pushes a lot, you also outscale him. Make sure you have Ignite when ganking him because if you don't and you're too far behind he might fight and kill one of you or even both of you. Don't expect too much damage from your jungler unless he's ridiculously fed because junglers tend to be behind in gold and levels.
