I've recently been practicing going from 16ths to triplets and back, to give a 'fast, less fast, fast' sound. Works vice versa - 16ths to sextuplets. Gives the feel of a burst of speed.
So I try to pick logical patterns. I recently posted a Paul Gilbert video here that gives an idea, but working with, in octaves, 2nps ideas in an arpeggio or pentatonic style, then using a full scale triplet run down and 3nps gives a pretty cool sound. Sort of, climbing up with, say, root, third, major 6th, then down a full modal scale (not sure what a minor scale with major 6th is called...).
Lastly... Just to confuse things
I LOVE groups of 5. Works great in pentatonic - descending e minor from 15th fret high e down to 14th fret g, then 15th fret b down to 14th d and so on, using pick, pull, pick, pull, pick, pick, pull, pick, pull, pick etc. Much easier to see than write!
