What I've done is something like /user/1111/edit_form

That makes it clear that the URI is a noun, "the edit for for user 1111". 
I still PUT to /user/1111 for the update. When I say PUT I really mean 
"tunnel PUT via a POST", of course, because browser make this all so 
difficult.

For creation I'd have /user/create_form or /user/new_user_form and POST to 
/user
