MATERIAL PICKER
cmon, I know materials will highlight if I am to select the object its applied to but sometimes ur bringin in models that are not split into groups but has many materials maybe badly named and perhaps u could clean the model up but sometimes u just want to set materials for something quickly and render it and this is where a material picker would be very useful.

Could you elaborate? What's a material picker? How it would look in Blender?
* @-L0Lock- * as for how the icon would look, perhaps a combo of an eyedropper and the material icon already in blender, maybe it would sit below the viewport, click it then click on a mat in the viewport and it will select/highlight in the material menu or the node editor
I think it is a must to speed up the shading-render workflow. Simply clicking in the cycles interactive render and the material is selected would be fine. But it could be another selection in edit mode, i mean 1 for vertex, 2 for edges, 3 for polys and 4 for materials to be able to select materials in the 3d viewer also.
