As you guys suggested, I tried out using more hotbars. I enabled the left and right sidebars, and mapped keys to 8 of their 12 buttons. On these I put skills that are useful all the time because the bars are always there. On the 4 remaining slots not mapped to hotkeys, I put skills often used but not readily needed, like summon food/water, hearthstone, etc.
It made all the difference in the world. Freeing up 8 slots often repeated on multiple bars allowed me to consolidate multiple bars into one, which allowed me to use the first hotbar for nearly all my combat needs, along with its fully functional auto-switch. Not only that, it eliminated a lot of hotbar switching, which is really nice.
So now I have 20 hotkeys near where my left hand rests on the keyboard. All of my interface buttons that were previously on '5tgb' got moved to the right. After some getting used to it, I love it.
