How often should you replace the shower valve?
Though not a plumber, I can say that shower valves are usually made of brass(a very good material).

What causes water to continue to flow through the shower head when you have the diverter to only flow through the spout?
depending on your spout diverter if its a valve or is it on the spout it self, if the diverter is on the spout then your diverter is not letting full flow of water out of the spout and its putting enough pressure to allow the water out of the shower head, I had this problem before and if you change the spout it should fix the problem. If you have a 3 way valve which is on the wall then i would suggest replaceing the parts in that valve if possible other wise change out the divert valve. If your broke like me and want a cheap fix then put either a water flow resistor or a shutoff right before your shower head.
