I recently got the Razer Nostromo and I'm going to be using a lot of elements from this hotkey setup in order to get everything running. Though obviously a case of apples and oranges and my setup will be different, a lot of the principles are identical (and inspired from) this hotkey setup.
I have a mouse with a total of 4 buttons + wheel that are customizable, and I personally love using these buttons for my control groups. I've actually almost completely stopped using my keyboard for control groups (since mousewheel up/down, thumb buttons and top left buttons are all control groups). It's SO much faster and easier to access hotkeys it's ridonkulous.
Thank you Kaitlin for inspiring me. I may not be utilizing your exact setup, but what I am developing at the moment is being purely based off of your creation and hard work, and for that I am incredibly thankful. Just the idea of getting hotkeys on my mouse has literally bumped my apm by about 10 per minute. May not sound like much, but when your apm was about 70 before, that's almost a 15% increase in apm.
On a side note in regards to thumb button base cams... What I have set up with my mouse is that it normally hits just hotkeys, but if I hold alt then it goes into cameras, and to set up a view location i just hit control + alt + mouse button, and to view it just alt + mouse button. It's really simple and allows for dual functionality on the mouse (In case you didn't notice, I love using my mouse).

You're quite welcome. I didn't expect people to use it exactly as is, in fact I've even been making small tweaks here and there to try to improve upon things, but I wanted to put the model out there so people could improve their gameplay over the "default" or slightly-modified default setup.
