A little help.

[pakman]

Hello. It's been a long time since I posted and read the LL, but I picked up WoW back in November (I made a post about it then, too, if I remember correctly). First of all, here are my characters:

Nyssan my hunter.
Mynameispat my shaman that I just respecced to enhance.
And finally Mastik my twink warlock. These are the characters that I play the most often.

I started out with only the intent of staying PvE, but quickly came to realize that PvP is where my heart truly lies. I hated the 10-19 bracket because of all the twink rogues with fiery on one hand an crusader on the other or two firey, etc. So I levelled to the 30-39 bracket where I do nothing but win. My hunter is currently BM spec and is very easy to be on the top of the battleground lists with, but it's still incredibly fun. I've always loved Arathi Basin.

So I decided to make a twink warlock just to see how overpowered I could make myself at this level, and I am impressed with the results so far. I have a few questions, though. The first one is: do +damage and healing items contribute to things like Life Tap? Currently, I have +121 to spell damage if you only count shadow spells. So when I just around Life Tapping myself, am I hurting myself even more? Second question: How exactly does +spell damage work with DoTs? Does +healing apply to Siphon life and Life Drain? Third, is affliction really the way to go for PvP or should I be going Demonology for the +health/stam skills I can get? How well does Destruction work out? PvE is a joke at this level with these items and I have no downtime. Should I level to a different PvP bracket instead?

I know twinking is usually looked down on in the Lounge, but I had to try it. I didn't want to post on the Blizzard WoW forums because all I'll get is, "ROFL l2p nub lolololololz."

In another unrelated topic since I'm not going to start and entirely new thread for it: How do shamans fare these days? Is enhance really that good or should I spec back to elemental since I can get the highest burst damage possible with the guaranteed crit an 0 mana cost and a 1.5s cast lightning bolt. I keep reading that resto is the way to play, but I'm just not interested in it. Are shamans even a really viable class anymore?

Sorry if I'm bothering you will all this mumbo-jumbo and repeating questions that have already been answered. I haven't had the time to search the forums, yet.

Thanks anyways for any help you can provide.
