Ranged training (like melee training).
Power Strike to work with ranged attack.

Most definitely dealing with the feat tax/masterwork armor/math scaling issue, probably by adjusting magic gear to get up to +8 enhancement, with heavy armor gaining half the enhancement value onto base armor, and removing all masterwork armor and the scaling on all expertise and defense feats.

I'd prefer dailies to have a recharge effect, or to be endlessly-usable, but only one daily could be used per encounter, than to be removed.

i have seen a group that used an optional rule that during a short rest you can spend a action point to re gain use of a dailie power.
i think somthing like that would be nicer for players then the randomness of recharge. 

In order to simplify action economy, I'd get rid of most out of turn actions.  This is one of the issues with why combat rounds take so long- the issue of when something triggers and how to resolve the reaction/interrupt.  
I do like some out of turn actions though, but they'd be encounter powers. 
I like Daily powers to an extent.  They're great for casters, but feel odd to me on melee type classes, EXCEPT when it's an encounter-long effect, like a stance or a a Barbarian's Rage. 

A Daily should be one big, awesome spell or effect. 

I'd also severely limit the number of feats available.  There's just so many of them out there and so many which are just meh.  Feats to just boost damage feel munchkin-y to me, yet I often take them as a player because the other choices don't fit the flavor.

However, I love Themes, and I really enjoy the Theme Utilities and Racial Utilities.   I've considered houseruling in that my players can add a racial or theme utility for free at level 2, 6 and 10. 2 Utility powers at those levels, but can't take 2 skill utility powers or 2 class utility powers at the same level.  Gives the players more versatility without being too gamebreaking.

I'd like to see a basic list of powers for classes to choose from, but have keywords affect the power's riders.  There are several powers that are like Footwork Lure: Make an Weapon attack STR vs AC, does 1W+STR damge and push enemy one square. You shift into the square the enemy left.  The same goes for some Leader powers:  CHA vs AC, 1W +CHA dmg, a nearby Ally gains CHA mod temp HP- which is nearly the same as an Ardent at-will.
Why do we need multiple versions of the same power?  What if your theme or feats added on to the basic attack-  Martial could choose to slow, or to push and shift, or with a theme and feat additive riders, to prone.  Another power source could do the same, or open the mob up to some vulnerability, or de-buff the mob. 
This may be much tougher to balance across classes though, I haven't fleshed it out enough to be certain.

So, that's way more than one thing to change.  If I could only choose one-  Simplify Action economy by eliminating many out of turn actions.
