    1) Not really necessary, but a lot of people like them. The extra buttons on gaming mice, especially, can be kind of nice. With the typical use, your right hand isn't doing much besides movement, so moving some hotkey functions to that hand can make a noticeable difference.

    2) Right hand on the mouse at all times. Unbind left/right turn from your keyboard, put strafe on AD (or leave them on QE and put skills on AD), and do all your turning with the mouse. Use keys around WASD for skills. 1-6, QERTY, FGH, ZXCVBN (or as far as you can comfortably reach), plus alt/shift/ctrl mods for all of those, gives you a boatload of available keybinds. You've already got the idea of prioritizing your binds; the more often you hit it or the more important it is, the easier the key you put it on. Also put similar skills in the same places across classes as much as you can; stuns in the same place, buffs on the same keys, etc. (Z is always my stun key, 1-6 are defensive buffs on tanks, offensive buffs on DPS, main rotation is FVG, for example).

    Thanks for the answers. I hope other people also find this interesting, no guides speak of it and new people will have to learn it.

    I will try, the thing is all main work will be done by the left hand, which will be overloaded, and the right hand is underused and always busy because in any minute you need to turn the character to move. (Just the opposite as now, where I use the left hand to move and the right for all the rest, normally.) A game mouse with more buttons would let me use more the right hand and free a bit the left one. A game keyboard would have more keys to bind and easier placed I suppose.

    I have the habit of using one hand for shift, control, alt, etc and the other for a key in normal keyboard use, so I don't know if I will get used to click two keys with the same hand (that also needs weird hand positions), better have different keys if possible. Let's see, I'll have to practice. And learn new habits (and unlearn others, that's not that easy.)

    Thanks again for the help.
