Flametongue Totem is a 100% proc on every successful melee hit - if you hit the mob, you get a proc. Always. The damage is normalized to weapon speed - fast weapons that hit more often will do less dmg per proc, slower weapons hitting less frequently will have a larger dmg per proc. Now also remember that if an Enhance shaman has specced into Elemental Weapons he gets a 6%/12% bonus to the damage from Flametongue (and the same bonus to the AP on Windfury Totem).

Not sure on the Eviscerate, I'd have to check to make sure, but off the top of my head I want to say yes, since it procs off every hit which should include instants.

The FlameTongue Totem damage doesn't scale with anything - its constant, set in stone, same as the AP bonus from WindFury. The shaman weapon imbue FlameTongue Weapon scales with spell damage.

Swordspec should proc it, again the tooltip says that successful melee hits proc the dmg.

Yes it can crit, and be resisted. On lvl 73 mobs it gets resisted often enough that its quite noticeable.

As far as +hit goes, the resists should only be affected by +spell dmg, but I'm not certain if the shaman would need to be wearing it, or the affected players in the group - and I'm also not certain that the Totem is affected by it at all.
