I respect GG's assessment as well. I think we are both right. It has to suit the person and the equipment he prefers to be a good option.
Keldor (ele shaman) did all of our Strider kiting and that poor boy not only uses keys to move, but he is a big time mouse clicker to boot, so I have a hard time saying my way is superior ;-)
That said, I'll point out that IF it starts to come naturally and doesn't feel awkward with your mouse, then the mouse turning is extremely precise. It felt wild to me for a while, at first, but now I have a very sensitive hand on the mouse, don't exert much pressure to keep the right key down at all, and can turn as slowly or quickly as I wish, stopping at a precise point.
I've been doing it for three years non-stop though. I first took it up when I was playing my original level 60 toon in the old days, a rogue (Saeroth), had a dagger PVP spec, and wanted to effectively circle strafe and spin to get behind folks in battlegrounds. Since then it just stuck.
I really enjoy the constant change in view. I am constantly panning around to look in all directions as I move, even if I'm not actively turning with the mouse. It is just second nature.
What GG did sounds like the right way to go. Make yourself do it for a week, if the advice from Xar and I makese sense, and see if it starts to feel good or if it hurts your wrist or feels uncontrollable or not.
Have fun.
