I do, though the only real value it has for me is the fact that i can use one of the side buttons to talk on vent.

i use the VX Revoultion.... or was it the MX... the small one...

one button for ventrilo/ts
one button for run
mouse scroll right for stance dance Battle > Def > Zerker
mouse scroll left for stance dance Battle > Zerker > Def

maybe one button for weapon cycle?... hmm...

i use mouse button 3 for land mount, mouse button 4 for flying. mouse button 5 for fire ranged weapon.

/shrug.

I could use it more for combat, but i really got used to my keybinding's from before i had the 5 button mouse.

bongo's has a pretty intuitive keybinding process, some mice have problems interacting with the in game (blizzard provided) keybinding menu.

I have an 8-button mouse...I dont use 6-8 in WoW though (well 6 and 7 function the same as scrolling).

For me, I have the normal left and right click, I have NO IDEA what middle mouse does, mouse4 (one thumb button) does auto-run, and mouse5...idk. I think 3 is enough lol, unless you do die-hard PvP or kiting or something.

My mouse has the two thumb butons, the scroll and the normal 2 buttons. So I guess 3 button mouse? Anyhow...

I make it a point to use the mouse buttons whenever I can. For instance...

Mouse 4 is charge/intercept/shield block, mouse 5 is MS/BT/HS (I really should shift that, but I use shift+S for shield slam and find it convenient). Shift mouse 4 is battle shout, shift mouse 5 is 'Zerker stance. Ctrl mouse 4 is battle stance, mouse 5 is defencive. So on and so forth.

So, the mouse buttons, I find, are pretty handy.

I actually use a 4 button track ball mouse.

Also I can't stand bongos on my warrior. Works well for my alts that don't have changing action bars when I swap stances or change forms.

Jimpadan, try Bartender... 10 highly customizable bars, where bar 1 is your main, bars 7,8,9 is reserved for your 3 stances...

have no issues with swapping bars pending your stance.
