Great job on the T4i, I bought mine with just the kit lens for that price about a year ago. I know you mentioned you were looking at the ikelite housing, is this a price issue or are there particular reasons why you want that housing?

I am not set on a specific housing just yet. I don't really know of many other manufacturers for underwater housings for cameras so my knowledge on that part is limited. I did some searching now that you asked and see that Nauticam makes a housing at around $2400 and Sea & Sea makes a housing around $1,500.
There are going to be a lot of hurdles to hop between now and getting it underwater. I'll need a housing, lens, port and a set of strobes. That's all going to take time and money.
Again, I haven't done a lot of research on housings yet, but what sets the Nauticam apart from the Ikelite? I don't want to turn this in to a huge long discussion where people battle about their opinions, I just wonder what sets them apart and makes the price difference $900 other than aluminum vs plastic. I see that S-TTL strobes are supported on the Nauticam out of the box but bulkheads can be added for true TTL.
LiveView on a DSLR is actually rather pointless and a bit of a hassle imo. It also does add some sutter lag and shutter lag was one of several reasons I replaced the compact in the first place...
