I have heard in some vocal tunes, the reverb is "attacking" the actual voice. Dunno if that was a lousy description, but if anyone knows what im thinking of... help?

I was exactly wondering about the same thing. Are you talking about something like in "Dumonde - God Music" when the slow part hits and the males voice comes in? I would also be very happy to find out how to achieve this effect.

this is really easy to do

get your vocal in a wave editor (sound forge etc), reverse the whole sample, put a reverb on it with lots of decay, and then reverse it again.

^^ what he said. This is very easy to achieve.

you can also put some delay on the original sample then reverse it and add the reverb...its sounds cool...but don't over do it with the delay.

get this effect by using an impulse response reverb, you will have the option to reverse the impulse waveform.
