Im actually considering building an LED based lighting system for it. I think it should work well for macro shots.

I had a hard time finding this myself, and am in the exact same situation you are, so I am happy to share.
While in Av or Tv mode, with the appropriate adjustment "slider" in view and "active" on the LCD, you press and hold the "shift" button on the top left corner of the rear, and then toggle left or right by pressing on the sides of the 4-way selector on the right side of the rear. You will see the slider move accordingly. Takes 2 hands, but accomplishes the same as the rotating dial.
Sounds harder than it is. try it.

Thanks! I was having some trouble with this last night, missing the use of the dial I would have been able to do out of the housing. Will have to try it to see how well it works.
I use this technique, but prefer to use the manual mode, which provides much more control. You can use all of the functions without the 'dial' by the method above. As suggested, you can test it without a WP case. With gloves on, it can be easier than the 'dial'.I had a hard time finding this myself, and am in the exact same situation you are, so I am happy to share.
