Jonah,
I not sure if this is what you want, but in QGIS 2.14 you can set all of
these using the Layer properties under Labels, it was in previous
versions also.
I have used this previously to set label locations & rotation under
Placement.
I noticed also that you can also specify Shadows, Scale Based Viability,
Backgrounds etc.
In relation to placement and rotation, You create the fields for X, Y &
Rotation, leaving them blank. Select layer properties and set the
relevant fields from the drop down. Go back to the canvas, and while in
edit mode use the label move and rotate options. once happy with
everything, you can save it.
If you look at your table now, you will see that the X, Y & Rotation
fields have been populated where you changed them.

There's only a few examples using this class from the qgs python api

It's not clear from the documentation how one would say set a color,
or transparency, shadow etc.
Could someone share some code examples ?
