That's more or less what I figured - the filler now seems to be Drain Life to
20%, then Drain Soul, at least at my level.

I use icy-veins, but as you and others say, it's for max level. I was wondering
if there were any lock-specific sites.

I find I do great in instances, unless there's a lot of well separated mobs
to fight simultaneously. I can top the chart if I'm either fighting a single
boss, or a large number of mobs in a tight bunch (atm I have one AOE damage
spell). 

With my enchanted heirlooms, I tend to use only drops for the other slots; I'm
simply levelling too fast to go back to the AH frequently. Thus my other slots
are frequently a bit lower than they could be.

One specific question I have: I'm using a two handed staff (Scholarly
Headmaster's Charge w Jade Spirit). Alternatively, I could use a dagger and
an offhand. Any opinions? I can get a heirloom dagger, but I'd have to use
regular offhands.

It was there when I created the character.
It's called 'Traps', has a little net icon, and a number (0). 
The tooltip says 'Traps. Set a trap for unwary foes'. 
It's not in my spellbook. Others have suggested it's a glitch, and I
expect that's the case.
