Nice card, although i think the last ability needs to read like the first, (see: Necromancer's Magemark) because enchanted lands are not put into the graveyard, i think you need a "if a land you control that's enchanted would be put" the 'would' is the crucial part.

I'm a little hazy on it, but I think the game would use Last-Known Information to determine if the card was enchanted when it died. However, I agree that the two abilities should read the same way.

The trigger works fine as "whenever". You can have "whenever"/"when" graveyard triggers, or "if... would" graveyard replacement effects. This could work as either, but it's fine as a "whenever" trigger.

However, I'll agree I should re-word the abilities to match. I avoided "Enchanted lands you control" because I thought it would read a bit like "Enchantment lands you control". Do people think there's a danger of those being confused with each other? If not, then I'll make both say "Enchanted lands you control". If that is confusable with "Enchantment lands", I'll reword both to say "Lands you control that are enchanted".

I think the little people who would get confused, would be confused anyway with the other syntax, people who confuse the "enchanted" word with "enchantment" would still read this as Whenever an 'enchantment' land you control is put into a graveyard... the confusion is both ways so you may want to stick to one syntax for both abilities.
