I would add "Watching the battlefield for threats."

If it's a fight with adds, it's not just picking them up, but watching for their appearance, or for the sudden arrival of wandering adds, fleeing mobs, etc.

If the boss drops bad stuff, it's making sure that you're not marching straight into the bad stuff. For example, with the first boss of the Lost City, you're not just navigating around the traps, but staying away from large patches of them as well. That means not just watching your feet but watching as much of the battlefield as possible.
