there is an option in WoW to remove tracking debuffs on other characters, this could work too.
I am colorblind and I cant tell the difference between the colors. I been timing out skills in order to keep my DOTs on the mob ( i.e. Aero last for 16 secs which is about 6 cast of Stones before i need another Aero). I was going to make a post about the issue with the same suggestion as OP. I agree 100% with the suggestions, to the left and bigger icon would be great.
I do suggest as a quick hot fix would be change the color of the timer. I would suggest Yellow or Blue with a black border. This way everyone can at least see the difference until a more polished solution is reached.
Totally agree!
Going to say that I pretty much agree. As someone who is colour blind, I cannot tell the difference between the white and the green at all. With the timers and icons being small, I either have to squint at the screen or just hope for the best and time it myself.
Don't think anyone will object to be honest it is absolutely crazy trying to find your own DOTS.
I like this a lot.
In addition, if enemy buffs could be outlined in red in the same way player debuffs are outlined in blue, this would help us single them out in a crowd of icons.

Here's a mockup of a few ideas I've had for improving debuff visibility on mobs.
Making your own debuffs bigger:

Bigger icon and other players debuffs at 50% opacity:

Bigger icon plus desaturating other players debuffs:

If a bigger icon is not possible, can we atleast desaturate other players debuffs anyway?

I love Xerich's idea to change other player's debuff opacity (not too keen on the desaturation , sometimes it's nice to see what other debuffs a mob has that I might benefit from - if any).
Group my debuffs on the left, make them bigger, change opacity on every else's. Then I won't have issues hunting for my dots!
