My basic layout for all jobs. Hotbar 1 single target, hotbar 2 AOE. The focus of each is their respective core GCDs, and then I mimic the OGCD on each so switching isn't required unless going from AOE to single target situations or vice versa. Nastrond is used quite a lot in double weaves so I have it on both sides for ease of access. Expanded hotbar 3 for job specific potions, food, movement, role actions, extras I want access to regardless of single target or aoe situations. Hotbar 4 is shared quick access to whatever ya want on the WXHB.

Personal Hotbar Setup

SSD == Winged Glide HJ + MD combined

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

Hotbars for Lv60 Dragoon.

XHB 1 Single target XHB 2 Multiple target

This takes into account the upcoming removal of Spineshatter, so it is used as a placeholder for the non-damaging gap closer. True Thrust is on both sides to cut down on jumping back and forth, and because I had an open spot for it and splatted it right on there

Dawntrail DRG hotbar setup!

this is good. it makes a lot of sense and feeds into the combos. may need to revise it post dawntrail but we'll see what dawntrail brings.

I use a mmo gaming mouse from razer called the Naga, the 3x4 grid is the exact layout as my mouse buttons. Hot bar 2 goes like this from left to right, top to bottom: 1, 2, 3, 4, Q, E, R, T, 5, -, =. The - and = are left and right on my mouse wheel, 5 is reserved for long cooldowns. Hot bar 3 is the same as 2 but with shift being held. The empty item between Piercing Talon and Battle Litany is a health Pot.

Spineshatter Dive = Winged Glide

Dragon Sight = Drakesbane

With the Dawntrail update, a lot of the dragoon actions have been condensed. Try it out!
