JUnit confusion: use 'extend Testcase' or '@Test' ?

We have a ton of developers and only a few QA folks.

Splitting a test to a set of smaller tests

I want to be able to split a big test to smaller tests so that when the smaller tests pass they imply that the big test would also pass (so there is no reason to run the original big test).

I'd like to brush my brain to avoid confusions. In few words, what can be said about Mocking process in TDD What's the GREAT idea behind MOCKING?

Disable selected automated tests at runtime

Is is posable to disable selected automated tests at runtime? I'm using VSTS and rhino mocks and have some intergation tests that require an external dependancy to be installed (MQ).
