Diamond to masters

Ok, I've decided I want to get to Master League. When I do play(I don't take games very seriously, I cheese at times---last 5 games were all-in 8 pools and lost all) I play on the NA server. My opponents are almost exclusively 2400-2600 diamonds, and I don't face platinums but neither do I face masters. I actually am slightly favored over most 2300-2400 diamonds(weird). The acct has around 80 games and 500 pts with 1900 bonus. I play zerg. I do use the standard hotkeys, and don't have issues with micro and multitasking or larva injection in the middle of battle etc.

Since I'm looking to improve my skills, I'll stop cheese for now. Am also looking to learn some build orders. My standard build order these days for 1v1(all races!) is the 7 roach rush. If it works,well and good. If it fails, then I start thinking about what to do in-game. It works well against most protoss, so-so against zerg, and isn't very good against terran. I'll also start looking at the replays I lose. Most times, I prefer watching streams or LifesAGlitchTV(its darn funny) commentary on sc2.

Here are some questions for more experienced fellas to help me on.

1. What build order vs terrans is usually practiced?
- My 7RR into banelings/speedlings doesn't seem to be doing well at all. I think its something to do with the economy..haha. Most guys are bunkering and walling off these days pretty well. Even when I nydus into their base I usually don't have enough units to overcome them so I'm thinking of scrapping the 7RR altogether vs terran.

2. When do you suicide in overlords?
- I'm not clear about timing. 30?50?70? Every 3 mins? Every 20 supply?

3. What is the usual unit composition vs tanks?
- I usually use muta/ling/baneling vs marines/tanks composition. Would roaches/hydras be better?

4. Any advice on creep spread?
- if I 7RR, then my queen's first 25 mana is used on inject. Do most of you guys use it on creep tumor instead?
- my creep spread is quite poor and slow.

5. Baneling speed?
- is researching baneling speed useful? If so, when would be a reasonable time?

6. Is there any place where I can find decent build orders?
- I think they really make a difference. I used to 8 pool every game in the 1 week I played the beta. It got me to top bronze. Hoping for something more powerful!

Thanks in advance guys!
