I should try tidyplates sometime. ATM I used the standard UI for 
casting,
and make sure that most of my frequently used spells are bound in 
positions
1-9. That way, I cast with my left hand, while the right works the mouse
and clicks less-used spells. 

I'm up around iLvl 551, and get about 100k dps, up to 300k blowing
cooldowns (destro lock), solo.

What solution would you suggest?

I'm pure PvE. If I want a particular target, I'll click it. This is for
two things: quickly tagging heavily farmed mobs in a crowd of other
players, and lessening the time it takes to pick up a new target when
dealing with a crowd of mobs in an instance.
