Yeah, I used the '=Trash' context and that has always worked for me but your approach may prove to be more readable to the human reader. I knew about the t command and also for even more powerful distruction :) try the shift T command; it asks for an expression to group the selection and it taggs all of them. It is exactly the same thing as shift D for message deletion. For example, if you shift T and then respond with '~N' (without the single quote marks), you will tag all unread messages. I've had to do this from time to time in a busy list folder where I got so far behind it was best to just clear it out and start anew.
