I agree the interconnectors can be a problem but of course as I recall it there is a general flow - around the inner, A, clockwise and the outer, B, counter clockwise, so on taxing from the ramp instructions such as "Taxi on Bravo, hold short of Kilo Delta" would get you a long way..
Always found taxiing in was potentially a bit more difficult but once you were onto A or B it was fairly straight forward.
