Description of my issue:
i had many ip's entered in the cpanel listing for blocking (easier to use than admin tools), and when i made a simple change to my admin tools config, they were all lost....not in the new htaccess file nor shown in the cpanel interface...is that expected?

Whenever you use the .htaccess Maker your .htaccess file is overwritten. Apparently, cPanel doesn't store its list of banned IPs anywhere except the .htaccess File. So, yes, that situation you're describing is actually expected.
