A long time ago, I posted an idea where the three dots could be replaced with the skill icon of summoned phantasms (a default icon would be used for simple clones). This would allow mesmers to better visualise the illusions that were active during fights.
While I understand that ArenaNet does not want players to play with its UI but with its game, this would really make the class easier to play. This is further reinforced now with mesmer axe 3 as illusions are no longer locked onto one enemy.
I have attached a screenshot illustrating my idea.
