Problem with the dock is that its ever changing depending on how many apps you have open, or windows minimized. its not intuitive at all.
Silly me... For the most part my uses are browsers, mail, textedit/textwrangler, IM, preview, a productivity suite. I rarely try out new apps; as a result, my Dock's app side is fairly constant and I keep my doc at a fairly small pixel icon size so it doesn't move around much; usually I have about as many minimized docs in my workflow as apps, so it's balanced. I put the apps and the folders I want to drag and drop to most at the divider, so they're usually in the middle of the screen.
I've heard DragThing is great; after running and efficient and customized Mac for years however, I'd decided to stay as vanilla as possible in terms of system enhancements going forward since I never can be sure which machine I might be using.
