You've got the right idea. Find the most common denominator base image and then thinapp everything else you can.
With thinapp you can limit execution. So you can set the thinapp to only allow use by the a certain AD group. You can create an msi file as part of the thinapp build. With group policy you can turn around and push this msi file to the users of the AD group. This will then register the app and allow it to run properly on login.
Here are some how-to's on the AD deployment option

Another typical option is to deploy the apps with login scripts that are tailored to deliver the proper apps to the proper user groups.
