Great advice! I've just recently started dealing with this problem myself, so this is a nicely timed post for me.
More or less in the same meaning of color balance and linking tones (points #4 and 5) , i read in Boris Vallejo's books on art techniques that he always use some color of the background in the characters too for reflected lights. When i remember to do it, i find the image seems more harmonious!
