I add it to the bottling bucket right before I put the priming sugar in, and then I make sure it is really well mixed in. I also make sure that the bottled beer is kept at a temp of at least 70F until it is carbonated.

Same here, except my storage temps are a little lower.

I'm reading up on it now. Some people seem to suggest throwing a few yeast grains in each bottle

I brewed a Strong Scotch back in January via a partigyle. It ended up at 13% so I cut it with some boiled water to get it down to 11%. Yeast was obviously dead (WYEAST 1728) I used 1/2 packet of US-05 & rehydrated it with the bottling sugar once the temp got down to ~80F, then added it to the bottling bucket. To date it still does not have much carbonation. I doubt it ever will but it's okay for the style. But, man does it have legs!!!!! ;)

My ~12% stout carbonated just fine. Secondary on Wyeast 1728 for 7 months.
When I bottled, I put in a whole sachet of us-05 and some sugar (I think about 3oz). Carbonated very well with a med-low level of carbonation... even after 3 weeks. It's now about 1.5 years old and it's got the same amount of carbonation.
This article was helpful in determining bottle conditioning procedures for my stout.

Just bottled last night with a packet of US-05, so we'll see how it does in a few weeks.
I used a number of pint bottles to discourage myself from drinking it early. Figure I'm more likely to hold the pints to share with friends over time.
