Doesn't MH fly KUL-AMS still? or even KUL-FRA? If you wanted to stick with them all the way to Europe, either of those should be better and faster than LHR for connecting. Why hasn't MH brought those up as options?
If you want a nonstop to Rome from Asia, you could try pricing out TG via BKK (they may play aircraft roulette on that route though) or CX or SQ.
Hmmm...I suppose it has been a while since I've last done a transit through LHR. Maybe I've forgotten how bad it was... The last time I went through LHR was in Nov 2010 but it was my final destination. The only thing I really didn't like was immigration.
