I'm not aware of the possibility to get a list. But here are some other hints
that might be useful.
4--5 wrongly hyphenated words per page sounds much. Are you sure you have
setup the language correctly and the hyphenations patterns are loaded? LaTeX's
hyphenation algorhitm is not perfect, but it's not _that_ bad.
BTW there are some new, experimental hyphenation patterns for German that are
already generally better than the LaTeX defaults. You can load them via
\usepackage[ngerman=ngerman-x-latest]{hyphsubst}
As to the corrections: instead of correcting every instance in the document,
you can add hyphenation exceptions to the preamble, like this:
\hyphenation{%
Some-thing
An-other
}
These will be used for all occurrences in the document (for the main
language).
I have an external file mylexicon.tex with such exceptions (mainly technical
terms), which I load via \input in my document's preamble.

This is mainly a hint from LaTeX that the line cannot be filled nicely. Look
here:

You can get rid of this behaviour by something like this in the preamble:
\tolerance 1414
\hbadness 1414
\emergencystretch 1.5em
\hfuzz 0.3pt
