Binding incinerate to mouse wheel (resolved)

I watched the youtube video floating around here about improving dps last night and saw a couple of things I wanted to try out, one of which being binding incinerate to the scroll wheel on my mouse. I looked around on the esc menu, key binding etc. and I also was looking around on the bartender menu but bartender doesn't seem to allow me to do this either.
Am I missing something simple? Can someone help me out? I'm willing to install something other than bartender but would rather not as it would mean having to set everything up on all my characters again.
edit: I finally figured it out, as is the usual when I make a topic like this. It's been awhile since I changed a binding on bartender, normally I just move spells around on what I already have preset.

Thanks bionic, I was figuring that out about the time you were typing your reply. Just had a duh! moment for about 20 minutes that was driving me nuts.
If anyone is curious I noticed about a 250-300 dps increase on the dummy for 15 minutes as destro with incinerate on the scroll wheel. I was doing 3900-4000 dps before and ended up with 4250 just now and it was kind of awkward at first. I use quartz and nothing else struck me as being different on the recount. Not exactly hard data but it appears to be a good tip for increasing dps.

there's a youtube link in asakawa's guide that is really good in my opinion, a hunter showing general ways to improve dps. One of the things this guy talks about is that even if we use a cast bar add on to show latency there is still a small margin of reaction time added in every cast so he says that we should be spamming the hell out of the next key you're anticipating using.
I normally use 2 for incinerate, so instead of hitting 2, when it's time to hit 2 you start hammering the 2 key in anticipation of casting instead so one of those "2's" cast incinerate instead of just hitting 2 when I normally would. So the scroll wheel does that, scrolling down with a bunch of clicks instead of just one. And over time you gain more casts as the split seconds start to add up.
I don't know if that's a good explanation or not. You can find the link in the guide, I believe it's the only youtube link in there. And it's linked in various other threads from different people also.
edit: normally i just do 1-CB 2-inc 3-immo 4-curse 5-conflag hitting each key once so.... 3 4 5 1 2 2 2 etc. If you watch the video the guy has an incredibly different approach to what I considered the normal thing to do, thus I wanted to try it out.
