Large website design with many, many layers. Need a way to move one element to the new designated group without dragging forever in the layers palette.

To make any process easier close groups when you are not actively working with them. Then click and drag a layer while positioning your cursor towards the bottom of the layers panel (to get an automatic scroll).

I'm interested in reading other suggestions since this behaviour can be quite annoying.

you could cheat by dragging the layer to a new document, scrolling up in the Layers palette, and then dragging it back into the original document.

You can also hit Ctrl + Shift + ] to move the layer to the top of the layer order. –  ckpepper02 Dec 20 '13 at 17:33
