why is it important to pan things out in the mix and should you not pan low end sounds like bass and kickdrums?

the only time you should be concerned about panning low end or using stereo effects on lows is if it's being cut to vinyl (one of the cutting limitations)
panning things in the mix allows you to add more perceived loudness to the track
ie. say you have 2 sounds occupying the same freq range you can make one louder in the left channel and one louder in the right channel instead of just reducing the vol on one or both of them

do the channels have to be fully panned for this or only say half way

panning gives you stereo width

It is common for engineers to record the bass tracks in mono so you would not want to pan your bass sounds. But, experimentation is what its all about in my opinion. Play around with panning, try some automation...you just might come up with something very cool and creative.

it´s all about phase cancelation... and in dance music in general you wanna punch on your drums and bass, so as they sound equal in the 2 sides of the speaker and with lots of energy.

Most clubs use a mono signal for their sound systems.
But most homes have stereo setup.
Make sure it works on both, but a few panning tricks are good for the home/car listener

Panning is essential, not just for a stereo sound but also for fitting things in the mix, if your mix sounds muddy try panning things that are in similar frequency ranges a little to opposite sides
also listen to Benga's percussion on headphones
