1. There's usually a group that will do Aurum Vale with an all blue (or 3 blu one tank if want easier runs over faster runs) Party. However I propose it might be faster to to Hawke Manor (hard) with all blue, with just the small problem of the final boss wiping the entire party if you go too fast that has to be solved for this to work. I also think that Keeper of the Lake with all blue has a chance to be properly fast as well.
In additon to that I'm doing MSQ roulette, Alliance Roulette, and Normal Roulette every day, I'll pick up some mogstones from that.
A prepmade of highskill might be able to run Deltascape 3 before the sand portal, and that's seriously fast. Folks were doing it before the stat squish, but it won't be as easy this time. I also suspect one of the alphascapes might be fast enough as well. But I'm not thinking randoms for this.
If you do Praetorian, do it while relaxing with a nice cold drink of iced "coffee"....

I don't have all my gwibs, so I might try to put together synced groups on the weapons to farm dragons and tomestones.
good insight.

I did bunch of Aurum Vale with 3 blues and myself and runs are 5 minute if clean and 7-8 minutes with mess ups, it does require higher APM however.

also did a few Prae runs while playing heathstone on background and watching a movie since 80% of that dungeon was cutsceenes, runs are 30ish minutes and extremly relaxing and easy but take long.

also did some Aurum vale with random dungeon finder, and runs took 10 minutes on good runs, and 14-20 on messy runs.
