It seems like I'm on the right lines.  

I generally put zealots, stalkers, sentries and immortals in one
control group, air in another group and special units (Colossi and
Dark and High Templars) in their own groups.

A lot of others like to put their stalkers in a control group of their
own so I might start doing that.  It makes sense as it allows for
easier blink micro.  It doesn't matter that sentries are in a group
with zealots and immortals as they are the first group selected so you
don't have to use tab to get access to their shield and force field.

Nobody seemed to say what they do if they split their forces up.  If I
was doing a two pronged attack I'd probably lump everything in the
second prong into one control group.

I also looked at a replay of KiWiKaKi, who is a Masters level Protoss
player, and he didn't seem to do anything different so I guess that's
what I'll do.
