I spent 8 years on ProE and am now using SW. I want to make a rotational pattern with a group of features, but I can't figure out how to group the features. In ProE, this would be dirt simple. Am I just missing something, or is grouping features missing in SW?

It's very simple. Insert pattern and simply click on the features in your feature tree that you wish to pattern. There's no need to group them.

You can group features in the feature tree into folders. Select a set of contiguous feature in the Feature Tree, RMB, and hit "Add to New Folder".
 
Would this make it dirt easier in SolidWorks? [dazed]

No, it makes it intuitive. When I got into Insert>Pattern>Circular, it became obvious what to do. Actually, I had the features highlighted before I did that and they already populated the 'features to pattern' box, so I knew I was doing the right thing. And it worked.
