Hell, make it a Pacman that chases the target and 'eats' them. From the way Weiss swings the ice sword she made, we've already seen that you can shape your dust constructs and control it. Following on that, a lot of techniques from Naruto would actually be viable. The problem with that though is that ice is a solid element, so it's easy to form it into a specific shape, as it will then hold that shape under its own power. Things like water though would require constant manipulatuon to maintain any given shape, so even if you might think it'd be easier to shape, controlling such an element to the level that Weiss manipulates Ice would be much more difficult.

Furthermore, Weiss only ever forms ice Dust into specifc shapes and contructs during the moment of their creation, and thereafter they remain in that shape until they disintegrate. She's never been shown doing anything like breaking her own isicle mounds into pieces and launching said pieces at opponents. So there's been nothing to suggest that Dust can be freely manipulated post-release without the aid of a Semblance and/or magic.
