1) Yes. 2+3) Yes. In general, don't worry about the damage types. Just keep trying to add additional damage up. And if you're worried about resistance, just pick a typed energy weapon to convert — then you either have mix of types or specific one.

Trying to keep it to official resources only. A lot of options on that list don't actually exist in 4e.

Never really used that, so if you have a link and it still works?

You can still sign up for DDI for ~$72 per year still. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?532635-Get-WotC-4e-s-Online-Character-Builder-to-work-or-get-a-sub&p=7056128#post7056128

Added a 4e Actual Play Resources thread link to the top post. In particular, there's a big online 4e game called the Guild on roll20. Usually 5-10 games going on there per week.

One more post just in case

As 4e is sometimes a bit hard to find on the web, I'm making a thread for keeping track of options. Feel free to post options that you've found if I'm missing one...

Kind of, but Scout's too complex for that group of players and doesn't do enough damage on an AP round.

My 'simple fighter' is lose all daily & encounter powers — keeping utility powers and features other than armor+weapons+skills and gain the following: Power called "Fighter's Strike" which is a basic attack that does 1w+stat, uses Str for most things, Dex if using light blades, light thrown or...

Skill Challenges are just a tool and are not mandatory. Even within Skill Challenges, you can have many scenes that don't use die rolls to resolve or have it overarch an entire adventuring day or even longer. They're just a narrative structure designed to get everyone involved and have...

Do a search for Guild Living Campaign on roll20. Usually about 5 games a week on there, organized in the LFR format.

Scenes do not necessarily have to be cemented in mechanically. I wrote in a no-mechanics role-playing encounter into a 4e LFR mod where the PCs talked with various NPCs, there were no relevant skill rolls or powers to use, and the outcome of the player decisions drove the LFR campaign direction...

Animate Dead Bovine apparently can be cast multiple times per edition…

Right. Now throw one of those guys into most home games and you quickly end up with the problem that 4e ended up having. Namely, that guy said, "Hey, I hate 4e, PF seems good, why don't we play that instead? Or else I might stop showing up and then there's no game..."

Right. I think if the 4e team makes the presentation that Mearls did for the 5e team — have a playtest for a couple of years, do surveys, etc... They end up with a simple Fighter, a simple Rogue, simple Barbarian and MM3 math. I'd bet they'd end up with inherent bonuses and the current rarity...
