I don't really think it's possible though for technical reasons - the Trust system works because the dungeons in ShB were specifically designed to work with the Trust system from the very beginning, and so their mechanics could accomodate the Trust AI. Pre ShB dungeons however, were never designed for that, and so the GC squad had to work around this, hence the more limited abilities they have, and why you can't just take your GC squad into any old pre ShB dungeon, there is only a very limited list available they can be used, because through much careful testing and experimentation only those dungeons SE has been able to adapt the AI to work with as good as they can, rather than the other way around (they can't mess with dungeon mechanics too much otherwise it ruins it for player parties). It's a catch-22 I'm afraid.

Certainly all new dungeons will be able to use the Trusts, and more characters will become available to be used with it (Estinien after all is confirmed to become a Trust in EW), but I do not see the GC system being ever rolled into it I'm afraid, for the aforementioned reasons.
