Arrow keys after the shortcut? Why not ‘n’ and ‘p’?

An awesome tool for making gestures do what you want is Better Touch Tool: http://www.boastr.de It allows you to assign any keyboard shortcut, specific to any application, to a miriad of different gestures.

Personally I’ve always used ‘tip tap’ left and right to change tabs, without having to open any preview window first.

Now THAT is useful. Gestures and keyboard shortcuts are pretty pointless if you need to click something first.

For quick switch from a tab to an other you can still create an Automator Service. Have a look at Find Safari Tab:

I want to like Safari but everytime I use it there’s a process in Activity Monitor, called “Safari Web Services” that’s always taking at least 20-30% CPU even with just 3-4 tabs open. That is just a battery drain.

You can also pinch two fingers together and it will expand the tabs view.

This feature is not present on the Safari 6 that is available for Lion. It is a Mountain Lion only feature from what I can tell on Apple’s site.
