1. Generally, whats the strategy for becoming a lich? Get the questline done, pump 5 points into and suicide yourself ASAP?
You need to be level 24 to max Lichform (it breaks the usual pattern), so as long as you've got the class points saved up, you can safely put it off until then. I recommend doing so, since the "Now for a Grave" quest is
very dangerous for a Necromancer (and downright ridiculous for a minion Necromancer).

2. Do people put a cat point into the tree before becoming a lich? (to get Lich 6?)
Nope. You've already got 1.3 mastery in Necrosis, so a 5-point investment gets you Lichform 6 by itself. You
could spend a cat point to cut that down to a
4-point investment (and transform yourself a level earlier), but I'd consider a category point to be more valuable.
And, no, you don't get any secret bonus from Lichform 7 (cat point + maxed talent).

3. The spell line that opens for you, is it already trained, or does that require a cat point as well?
It's yours for free.
