When you are infected by a parasite, your HP orb should turn brown as if you are diseased. Whether you can click your orb to cure it with a relicym's balm/sanfew is not really important, what's important is some kind of extra visual feedback so you understand that you're about to get hit for half your health. It feels like runescape classic where you have to rely on your chatbox to understand whats going on. I know there is a projectile shot at you but when there's 80 things flying around every second and protection prayers and scythe slashes painting your screen its very hard to see.

Some kind of phase counter on the lobby where you can infer how much longer it will be. For example shield phase 1, pillars phase 1.

I like the idea of the hp orbs changing colour. I'll pass that on on.

There is an indicator on both the boss and the ironman pool as to which phase the boss is on as Smetvrees pointed out. It doesn't tell you whether they are on shield phase or not but it should be enough to tell whether you should keep hopping worlds or stick around
