KyleMcleod, some 4x4s at least 2 feet in the ground are key, you can get away with less in the ground in shallow water. Then use the 2x4s to support if still shaky.

all i use are 2x4's and they never fail and i have no supports there, the key i always do is sharpen the point on one end of the 2x4 so it slides in all nice and deep like
i sink mine in 3 feet

I think you are on the right track, but I have no experience with rock bottoms. (My fave KISS song is rock bottom )
