Well, we do know for certain that using raw Dust is more dangerous, due to that whole thing about needing discipline to use it without it blowing up in your face. Infusing Dust in yourself even sounds more dangerous. Losing control of an energy source that's inside you sounds pretty scary.

Dust bullets make the job title of hunter a lot more open, since all they have to worry about is teaching people to use their chosen weapons effectively, proper weapon maintenance, how to use their Aura in its default state, and an understanding of Grimm and the best way of combatting them. No longer do they need to put every single student through the discipline training necessary to effectively use raw Dust without getting themselves or someone else injured or killed. They only need to give that training to students who choose to use raw Dust, but most seem to choose Dust bullets over raw Dust, due to the bullets being more convenient and less dangerous for them.
