Gear 12 Tedium

This isn't necessarily a big complaint, more so an annoyance and time waster that could be fixed:

I wish that CG would consolidate the types of gear that are needed (not necessarily the amount) for gear, especially at gear 12. 

For example, I click on a Gear 12 slot on the right side of the character and 3-4 pieces are needed; I then click on a piece needed and it needs 2+ other pieces to construct. So, for one slot I have to click on the plus, then one of the pieces, then search each individual component for that particular piece . Then repeat the step for each component needed for that piece. Then, I go to the next gear slot and rinse and repeat 6 times (once for each gear slot). 

This process is tedious throughout gear leveling, but especially at Gear 12. Anybody else dread this process? I feel like there has to be a better way to streamline this; to allow players to spend more time on the holotables, and less time preparing for them.
