For the flying text I wouldn't mind just the icons or even just a different colour. On the numbers. Red magic damage. Orange physical or something maybe blue for unaspected. And green for heals.

I wouldn't want to see every single skill name in hit by come up in flying text though that would just clutter the screen to much.

You could do it in the combat Los though but I've turned them off. The only things I get in my battle window are the queues. Like gobbie come closer or gobbie be far. That give you positioning hints for various mechanics.
