I now virtually only use the auto bracketing setting for my HDR captures. Of course I use a Tripod and I am not too critical to motion. If I need to capture a quicker sequence I will revert to the in camera AEB and high speed, and accept I am imited to 3 shots (50D)..
All these images were taken with the 50D in ML auto HDR mode:

You can't beat ML!

Great natural looking HDR. That's what I like from HDR, an image that mimics my vision's ability to process different parts of a scene differently. Not ones with purple rocks and absurdly blue skies.

Like you I strive for a natural looking image.
I guess there are two ways of 'looking' at HDR-touched imagery. First HDR as a style. Second as a technique to overcome the limitations of our camera sensors to capture life's dynamic range.
I am one who tries to use HDR to overcome my camera's limitations.
As I say, Canon users are very fortunate to have ML, especially the auto-Bracketing capability.
