Just pull down the notification shade and its right there. You want to switch back to a recent program you were in? Hold down the home key. Trying to remap these buttons would just cause more trouble than its worth, since every button actually is important and you have to use them to navigate the OS. On the TP2, half of the hard buttons were useless. The back button did nothing universally, so it made sense to remap it.
Well, the TP2 back key was automatically remapped by Sense to special functions within certain programs (eg YouTube, IE). I've used the Epic quite a bit and I'm very familiar with AndroidOS, but I still prefer the hard keys over touch screen navigation (this will definitely sound stupid to you). I like being able to launch XYZ without looking at the phone and then toggle between programs with a single key press.

Does anyone have any input on call blocking apps?
