I think we may already have; Cinder's eyes glowing 

As much potential as that theory has, it is hard to judge as of right now. I might not disagree but we have very little information from the writers and the show regarding Dust and all its facets. What we currently know so far is that it is commonly used as ammo and fuel propellant and is somehow integrated into most if not every aspect of life in RWBY. It also can't travel beyond Remnants atmosphere for whatever reason, making space travel and placing satellites currently impossible. We have been told that Dust can be used in other ways outside of bullets, such as grafting it onto clothing (which was first seen in vol 2), using it in it's raw state (which I don't think was showcased yet) and fusing it directly to a persons body (which I'm fairly certain was never shown on screen even once). We are 3 volumes going on 4 into this show and we do not have any concrete information about what all the different colors of Dust and their corrosponding elements. Aside form fire which is refered to as "Burn" in show, every thing else is heavily implied which creates lots of confusion among fans. I really hope Weiss or Winter gives a clearer explaination on dust in this volume. It doesn't need be be increadibly regid or overly complicated, just enough to clarify any misconceptions fans have.
