As to Weiss, not quite true. We've seen her use Dust without her Semblance, actually. Recall the shot in Volume I of RWBY barraging the approaching Nevermore, and the decidedly non-ballistic projectiles in use, which can only be attributed to Weiss. That is still probably a pretty basic thing, though. You may have to remind me what scene that was, because I don't recall it.

Unless you mean the part where RWBY was firing to the Nevermore before it crashed like an idiot against the pillar. In which case, you would be wrong, for you can see that right before each "shot" of hers was fired a very small Glyph (about a bit smaller than her hand, I think) appears. She was firing them with her Glyphs, she just used much smaller Glyphs in that scene (which wouldn't be weird. If a mage knows how to make a fireball, making a smaller fireball would be easier).
