I also don't see how this is an advantage over just holding down the mouse button. Does using the 'force move' or whatever shortcut cause the map to get pinged with all those circles?

Yes, the "force move", especially the technique of using scroll up and down with your mouse wheel, causes the circles on the ground. I personally can´t really see the advantage in attaching this function to the mouse wheel. Sure, it´s quick and rather easy just scrolling up and down, but doing this for hours at a time will surely start hurting your hand/fingers (at least with a regular mouse, don´t know if there are other choices to be honest).
If that's all you're referring to - you would want that to move to a location without the possibility of clicking your left mouse attack, stopping, and possibly getting killed. I bind my move button to space bar but personally rarely use it.
I use my wheel to move its a lot easier once you are use to it you. no longer have accidental clicks on mobs or pylons. For me makes using my left click for spells a lot easier then having to stop or hold shift down to force stop my moving so i could fire.

It´s true that using force move in general makes playing easier, especially when you don´t have a primary attack on your left mouse key. May i ask how long it took you to get used to doing this with the mouse wheel?
I actually use my "e"-key for force move (don´t need it as dh, but it´s nice when i play one punch monk for example) and space bar for force stop, which makes it safer to stand still while attacking (multishot dh).
after about an hour or so I started to get use to it has been about 3 months now and feels awkward if I don't use my wheel to move
I became use to it after a day; and now I can't play without it. It does not give me any problems, you don't really need to SPAM it. Just makes getting around large packs easier without accidentally attacking a mob or clicking something you don't want to.
I'm currently using the wheel scrolling for moving, and yes, it can be very useful in cases you don't want to accidentally click on something and ruin your plan. Like Shapookya said, additional mouse buttons also do the work and can be more comfortable.
However, there is one moment that makes MY wheel better. I'm using Logitech Performance MX mouse with Hyper-Fast Scroll technology - in this mode the wheel rotates almost without friction and can keep rolling for 8-10 seconds after the initial finger movement. The computer recognizes this continuous spinning as a long series of separate clicks (called "rapid fire" by OP).
The most interesting thing I've discovered recently is that these wheel commands reset the commands coming from my keyboard, from the buttons that I'm holding pressed down. So, for example, if I'm holding "1" for Explosive Blast while wheel-controlled running, it will activate on cooldown without any crazy button mashing or NumPad trick.
Since this possibility comes from actual mechanical option of the mouse and not from any kind of software, I don't think that it can be considered a macro and thus shouldn't be bannable (if macros turn out to be bannable at all). Didn't use it during season (didn't play those spammer Wiz and Sader builds), don't know if such tricks were punished during banwaves. May be they can still be regarded as automation... What do you think?

every time I see someone playing on youtube they have whats seems to be a rapid left click how is it done? can anyone shed some light please?
in the keybinds, set force to move to "scroll wheel up" and "scroll wheel down."
I use it all the time. I even broke my scroll wheel on my last mouse since I used it all the time.
