insignificant? You must not be doing the same dungeons I am, 120k xp for 25-30minutes @ lower levels is not insignificant. Its great, and not mind numbing like fates are.

im getting this xp AFTER my daily roulette. For instance, in satasha I was getting 1200 per kill which is pretty damn good @ lvl 15

Sure, the Daily is absolutely a nice bonus, but this is only once a day so it doesn't prove to be a reliable, nor is it a consistent method of leveling. Grinding dungeons takes far longer than fate grinding, I personally tested this out and it's horrendous for any class. Fate grinding as it used to be is still the faster way to 50. However, seeing as this is not a viable method anymore due to the lack of parties and the absolute ultimatum, Difficulty Scaling, I hope to hear some sort of routine or undiscovered farming.

I think the scale of what's "worth" the xp is skewed if you're comparing to pre 2.1.
Dungeons are worth grinding now, relative to other forms gaining xp. I get more half a level per dungeon without the Roulette bonus.

When leveling a dps, you don't have good queue times.
I find that fates are still worth doing outside of a party, cause there are usually a few others doing them as well.
It doesn't scale unless there are a lot of people.
If there are a lot of people, you can usually make a party and not do the dungeon altogether.
The scaling just makes it slower, but that doesn't make it inconsistent.

The Guildhest daily is also totally worth the XP now.
I think supplementing with even the hunting log and battle leves, you can get yourself to 50 in reasonable time.
And by reasonable, I mean not FATE XP pre-2.1.

Same problem did my daily roulette on my 50 so I could get the tomes, but that means my lowbie doesn't get the bonus. So I didn't feel like doing dungeons, and went to grind a few fates only to find the place empty. I was like well damn, and logged off. Kinda sad I hope people come back to doing fates.
