any shaft that transmits power (drive) IS a driveshaft so don't worry.
the "do a search" w/out the dumbass part is for your benefit since you'll find much more info from the hundreds of posts on a subject then any new responses. Plus people who have already commented in detail are not usually willing to do it again...
Carbon fiber is an excellent mat'l and lightening up any rotating part would help the engine ramp up faster but like others have said, it's not exactly a proven performer on high torque/long life applications. Also if it were built incorrectly, balancing would be very messy and bonding would be a major issue.
