A loot list with 3 large buttons on top. Take button (would take first item in list if no item in list is selected.) Discard (same function as take) and Give (same function as take)

This way you can go through the list by clicking (or hotkeying) take,take,take,discard,take,take etc etc.

A blacklist wouldn't be shabby either. All in all i like the ideas. I do prefer the loot list only because FF14 has a huge amount of general crafting use items. So instead of a mini loot list with every kill, i'd vote for keeping a single larger loot list similar to the one we have now, with many suggestions preceeding and including my post ^^
