Yup, 8-9 tablespoons per 5 gallons always works well. I usually go with 9, but knock it back to 7-8 if I'm not sure the beer really atenuated all the way (on that note, check your attenuation %).
I never stir the sugar into the beer at bottle time, I just dump the water/priming sugar mix on the bottom of the priming bucket and siphon the beer on top of it, seems to swirl around and mix well.
