I'm a WASD-mouser. Mouse has two side buttons, wheel tilt left/right, right/left/middle(wheel), wheel scroll up/down
My current setup is:
L-shift: bomb/weapon tertiary
Space: sword primary
Mouse side 1: gun primary
Mouse side 2: weapon secondary
Mouse right: shield
Mouse left: attack/action
Mouse middle: autoaim
I've been hesitant to use the wheel tilt because it's not precise enough when I'm using the middle mouse. I'm curious what other setups WASD-mousers with multi-button (3+) mice use. Maybe I'm already squeezing the most out of the WASD-mouse experience, but I'd like to see if there are potentially better setups.
Control setup improvements

Arrow keys and Left click
Arrow keys and Left click attack right click shield for me.
Gunning is painful with this, though. Not sure how to configure walk vs face keys to make gunning easier (that is running multiple directions and only firing in one).

To configure it so its move
To configure it so its move instead of face you want to use Move North/South/East/West instead of Face North/South/East/West. Probably will have to manually change the settings but it should work better for you.

WASD for move. Weapon slots
WASD for move. Weapon slots bound to wheelup, wheeldown, and two side buttons. Right click for fire, left click for move because sometimes I'm lazy and don't want to use my left hand when I'm wandering around haven. Left shift for shield, and spacebar for auto-aiming on trolljan butts.

I think I'm weird, because I basically switch between two basic setups at a moment's notice. Sometimes I move with the left mouse button, attack with Z, and shield with X. Sometimes I use WASD for movement, right-click for attack, and middle-click for shield.
I have next weapon on spacebar and previous weapon on left ctrl, because I consider having them on the mouse wheel to be a hazard. I should probably move my weapon N keys to somewhere more convenient than the default, as well.

Game pad for the win.
WASD is for suckers that only want to move in cardinal directions (or blast network, which only allows movement in cardinal directions). If you ever want to artfully dodge puppy bullets and strafe like a pro, get a game controller.
Controller left analog stick for movement, left trigger for shield, left above trigger for auto-target toggle. Mouse for aim, right click to attack, wheel for weapon switching. Left mouse click is for moving around Haven when I don't feel like using a game pad. I tried mapping specific weapons to the side mouse buttons, but I found that the wheel is fast enough with at most 4 weapons.

I keep meaning to play around
I keep meaning to play around with using a controller and mouse rather than the keyboard and mouse, but I want to pick up a 360 controller first so I don't have to mess around with hacked drivers for my Dualshock 3.

Hmm, Best Buy is having a sale on a PC game controller (that has the same layout as the XBox ones) for 7 bucks. I wonder if I should pick it up, because I use mouse to move/aim, tab to shield, and q to attack. This means that I suck at gunslinging, but it works fine for bombing and sword fighting.

For $7 it's worth a try.

I use relative movements, which allows me to move and strafe in any degree of direction from the position of the mouse cursor (i.e. Move Forward, Backward, Left or Right from the mouse cursor), rather than using absolute movements (i.e. Move North, South, East, or West). You see these absolute and relative commands in the game's control menu.
Relative control is like using a mouse in first-person shooter, not like the point-and-click adventure games using a freely movable mouse cursor. I'm a first-person shooter junkie. Go figure.

EDSF - up down left
EDSF - up down left right.
W/R - switch weapons
SPACEBAR - Shield.
Mouse 0 - Click Move.
Mouse 1 - Attack/Interact.
Autohotkey Macro:
L.Alt - Spam Mouse 1 repeatedly.
EDSF is my default movement keys of choice in any game. Why? Because by moving your left hand one key to the right, your hand has easy access to more numbers (default weapon switch and/or abilities for most games), more keys, and still retain reasonable access to other things like Ctrl, Shift, Tab, Tilde, etc.
W/R because my mousewheel is borked and i'm too cheap/lazy to buy a new one.
Spacebar - Knights aren't exactly durable. Having defend as the largest button on the keyboard helps fix that a little.
The Autohotkey macro is something I rigged up because quite frankly, I refuse to go to hospital over something as silly as carpal tunnel syndrome.

I use a laptop with no mouse
WASD: up down left right
spacebar: switch weapons
z/right mouse pad: attack
x: shield (left mouse pad is also shield but it's kinda messed up and won't work sometimes)
mouse pad: look
I use a Laptop with no mouse.
My setup is as follows.
WASD: move
Space: Shield (if your fingers are on AWD then its practically right under your thumb)
Scroll wheel: Weapon swap
Right Click: Attack
Left Click: Auto-aim
It works fairly well for me.
