Please consider HiDPI screens when planning icon sizes, at least they should be configurable, there is still a settings option for icon sizes. At the HF we discussed about the different options, one is to add options like very small small normal big huge instead of the px size, this should

Having more SVG icons helps a lot to make the interface look good (despite the fact that some graphics designer may object that there's no hinting) For reference, this code is used in QField to calculate button sizes and may as well be used to calculate the default icon size device independently:

I'd say the related changes committed within the last 72 hours helped a lot in that regard. For one, the icon refresh moved away from 16 x 16 png icons to SVG graphics. In addition, the icon size for dock tool buttons are now taking into account the user preferred icon size. On Fri, May 29, 2015

Larry, As Nyall mentioned, icon size of the dock tool button will go back to 16 x 16 by default. That'll make things look the same as before. That said, the border on the buttons (no present on other OSes) aren't very nice. It might be worth adding a style specifically for os x to remove those.
