Keeping some fresh air circultaing around the pump would cetainly be nice, but I wouldn't go as far as designing heat sinks for the casing. Or designing my whole build around keeping the casing cool. They seem to work fine as is, as long as you don't set the pumps base on something which would trap the heat. I just make sure mine's suspended somehow, and they've alway held up fine for me.

You can improve on "enough" though. The more heat that comes off that motor means less in the loop. It would actually decrease temperatures, not sure if it would be noticeable or measurable though. Just to decrease the pump heat dump everyone complains about.
