I keep things simple. The skills most frequently used take up the 1-4 keys on the bars. Skills I want to be able to hit in an emergency are 5 and 6. Buffs or other skills that are only cast periodically, but are ones I may need to cast in a fight are on 7 through =. When the first hotbar fills up, number 6 is the next one that gets filled with combat skills because I can hit the number 6 easily enough to switch quickly. I don't use macros, I don't use UI mods. For my healing classes, the heals go on 6, 5, and 4 in order from quickest cast to slowest cast. Thrown weapons or wands or simple shots from bows/guns always go on the 2 key. Don't ask me why, that's where it ended up on some character and that's where I got used to it being so that's where it is for everybody. =)
