I learned a lot from and really enjoyed the Quantum Physics posts at Less Wrong: http://lesswrong.com/lw/r5/the_quantum_physics_sequence/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/r5/the_quantum_physics_sequence/ . The author starts out focusing on the Many-Worlds interpretation and later defends that point, apparently sharing your criticisms. Early on, the author has a lot to say against other teaching approaches that present Quantum Physics as fundamentally mysterious ("No one really understands it anyway, just use these equations") or leave out the Many-Worlds interpretation: >I am not going to tell you that quantum mechanics is weird, bizarre, confusing, or alien. QM is counterintuitive, but that is a problem with your intuitions, not a problem with quantum mechanics. [...] It is always best to think of reality as perfectly normal. >Dragging a modern-day student through all this [initially teaching the subject in the order it was discovered] may be a historically realistic approach to the subject matter, but it also ensures the historically realistic outcome of total bewilderment. Talking to aspiring young physicists about "wave/particle duality" is like starting chemistry students on the Four Elements. [...] The universe is not wavering between using particles and waves, unable to make up its mind. It's only human intuitions about QM that swap back and forth.
