I purposely often don't refactor my tests much because I find
highly-refactored tests impossible to understand with the standard browsers.
I've seen projects where the set up and assertions are spread over multiple
classes! Now I have to start chasing things through the implementors browser
at the same time as looking at the test to figure out what's going on.

Reinvented testing tools would be awesome (if you haven't tried Laurent's
Autotest yet, it's a joy). I've been working on some test-specific tools
that capture the domain better. I'd be glad to talk about it - just flag me
down at ESUG. Although, if I understand Ring, I think the really magic will
happen once it's ready and we can operate on the AST.
