During our practice schedules especially after playing for a few years, its important find your weak spots. For the first three years, I avoided double hand tapping, because I figured I wouldn't need it as the years progress, (and being that I spent most of my time learn Zeppelin tunes, it just wasn't part of my vocabulary. But its a great technique in a pinch, which definitely adds much more fluidity to your style. Believe me, it was frustrating learning this technique for the first time, muting the proper amount of strings, etc, but gradually I introduced this style into my schedule, and also listened to Vanhalen records non stop, once you learn "Eruption", theres literally no turning back, :D. But you know its a great accomplishment when you can learn a very intricate guitar lick by ear, it definitely builds up your confidence..
