One thing to keep in mind that shallower DOF helps (if that is possible in your framing/composition) I use the sigma Art lenses (which indeed are not great for bokeh either) but wide open they help to prevent or better 'mask' this issue, besides these lenses deliver also great results in terms of sharpness wide open as opposed to canon alternatives.

Otherwise you have to go tele like the 85 1.2 or 135 2.0.
