The easiest way to work with Shelvesets is to use the new My Work feature. By suspending and resuming work Visual Studio will automatically do all the Shelveset magic for you with a simple drag/drop of the task that you want to have in progress.

The same applies to reviews, Suspend your current work, or create a new temporary workspace, open the Review Request, let it unshelve the changes automatically and when you're done go back to where you were by resuming your previous tasks.

It's really great once you get the hang of it. That it uses Shelvesets under the hood is nice to know, but this way you don't really need to know, it just works.

As for TWA Diff, there've been great improvements with TFS 2012 Update 2 which is almost ready to be released...
