The folder icons have been optimized for both Dock & Finder by using the same rounded rectangle shape as app icons, semi-translucent colors, and a small-scaled version that matches the Finder Sidebar icons.

- Open Get Info on the application from Finder (right click the application in Finder > Get Info)
- Drag and drop the .icns file over the current icon at the top-left corner
- That's it! Don't worry, you can always return to the default app icon by selecting the current icon in the Info window and pressing delete.

Here is my unsolicited plug for IconChamp. This is the only app I've found that can change the icons for system-installed apps like Safari or Apple Mail. It's not free, but I think it's awesome.
The only free work-around that I've come up with for system applications is to create a simple AppleScript to open the target application. For example, with Safari:
tell application "Safari" to activate
and export it as an Application, which can take the new icon using the same instructions above for user-installed applications (Get Info > drag & drop the icns).
