I've been thinking of making Jin a fun sub, unlike my King and Leo

.
1. What's the difference between an electric f,n,d,df+1 and a regular f,n,d,df+1? I don't know the name for it lol.
2. Is Jin's poking and parrying the best way to go when playing as him? Has he got strengths in other areas such as oki, punishment, or straight-up pitbulling?
3. Is EWHF (I believe that f,n,d,df+2, is it?) as abusable as EWGF?
4. How do I go learning Jin? I can do EWHF and electric CD 1 once out of three tries, what else is there to learn? Other than juggles, that is.
5. Is Jin's parry comparable to a sidestep, seeing that it doesn't stop any strings, just makes the move whiff, regardless of tracking and whether it's homing or not?
6. mycheats.1up.com says that Jin's juggles are weak. Is that true and if so, why?
7. Who are some of the best Jin players, so that I can view their playstyle and learn?
8. Any extended readings I can do to learn about this poking beast?
EDIT: 9. Whatever the flip happened to Soul Omen? Did the notation (b+HOLD1+2,b~d~u~f) change or something, or did they take it out altogether?
Jin's cool, but I don't think I can make him my main/sub doe to his general turtling playstyle. I'll still want to play as him to take down scrubs who come my way.
