Here are some data-vis libraries/collections in case you want to go with a cookie cutter solution

It is also worth mentioning to try different representations of your data, here is one from Designing with Data which converts a pie chart into a stacked bar chart.

We're using d3 already, just not well. Haven't had the time to finesse in into something good looking. :)

Seems like moving the labels out of the pie chart might be a good start. Something like: http://stackoverflow.com/a/8198247

Only problem is that the chart would be smaller in comparison to the overall canvas needed to show it. Probably worth it though given how it currently looks.
