It would all depend on what I was shooting as to what lens I would get next if I had yours. Personally I'd get a Canon 100 f2.8 L macro as it's great for portraits as well as macro. But if you're not interested in shooting macro then maybe a 400 f2.8 IS L for longer reach.

I've always fancied getting a Canon 28-300 IS L as an all in one lens that could almost stay on the camera forever.

Is the 100 f/2.8L IS macro any better than the 70-200 f/2.8L IS II for Portraits?

I would say there's not a great deal of difference between the two TBH. I haven't done much portrait stuff with the 70-200 yet but what I have done looks very similar. Obviously the macro comes into its own as you get closer specially under the 70-200 MFD but the 70-200 just keeps on surprising me with just how good it is every time I use it.

Depends on your style... For me you have great glass! but no fast regular prime. You need a 50L or 35L depending on what you like to shoot.

+1 for UWA, I just got the 17-40 for my 5dIII, mostly due to being half the price of the 16-35 and for the price, I love it. Focuses fast enough and IQ is really good. With the ISO capabilities of the body, I'm happy with F4. If anything, I'll add a fast prime in that range as sometimes indoors even 2.8 is low. I'd recommend 17-40!
