How do you deal with all the crap on the screen?

So back in when my gear was crappier (slower AS, less crit) and I was running on lower MPs (and also before MP existed) this was not a problem. Now I am finding that there is starting to be too much going on on the screen. Battles look like this pretty consistently, worse when playing in groups.

Beyond just general effects, I find that gear obscures the screen, in fact gear is one of the biggest offenders for obscuring the screen. This is the aftermath of the above battle: 

I think stuff like this is a very good example of why we need the ability to filter out gear from displaying. For example only show gems, tomes, rares and legendaries, no blues or whites.

What do you do so that you can actually see what is happening?
