Is there anything I should know about this flash? They guy at Samy's said that as long as I leave it in ettl mode then I'll be fine. Are there any other features that I might want to check out?

The lighting forum is a good place to start, it has a bunch of FAQ threads lie this one. Read the EOS bible, it's invaluable.

Yeah check out FEC. Read the manual. Play. Enjoy. It's the best flash unit available from Canon.
