As far as Weiss' use of Black and White Dust, I have a theory. The difference between Black and White may be like a Heavy and Light attack respectively. For example, when she needs a quick boost of speed or unleashes a quick attack, it is always White. It only seems to turn Black when she charges it, like when she held Ruby in the slingshot for an extended period of time, most likely charging for the shot. She does it again when she goes to stab the boarbatusk, hanging in the air for a brief moment before launching at the boar.

As far as the Aura/Dust debate, I believe that any type of power that has Dust-circles is Dust based and has little or nothing to do with Aura. Even if Weiss seemed tired after launching Ruby and making multiple Dust-circles, remember that Dust is energy and most likely energy is required to activate it precisely. I mean when Ruby sneezed, it exploded so in order to prevent that from happening, energy may be required to contain it. Aura seems more like a person's life-force and is different from energy, even if a person's energy may be required to use it.
