She had the huge ice attack, the gravity modifying glyphs and the 8 projectile glyphs she makes while drawing a circle with the blade…all of which were present in the white trailer. And that power slash she did when attacking the knight might have just been her fire setting, except it got a texture upgrade in between the trailer and episode 6.

As for why she doesn’t spam the things…you do know dust is a resource right? A resource that by definition, can run out. Honestly I think she was just being conservative in the forest, trying not to use more dust then necessary, in case of encountering other grim, while in the trailer she was aware the knight was her sole opponent…so she was more liberal with using the dust chambers.

She does use her ice attack, but that is pretty much the only thing that is the same. The Glyphs she uses in the show seem to launch her like a gun, but in the trailer they move her around like she is teleporting. The red attack in the show is fire, but in the trailer it seems like a repulsion attack, bouncing the armor's attack off her sword. The yellow attack disarms it, but we haven't seen that yet. Same with the thing she used to bind the thing in the air.

Anyway the point I'm getting to is that the effects of Dust seems to change from Trailer to Series. In the show, Dust is described as "nature's wrath," which fits in with what we have seen. The Dust Ruby causes to react when she sneezes was ice, lightning, and fire. Glynda fights Cinder with an ice storm and later user concrete debris (rocks). Cinder on the other hand uses her Dust dress to make fire and explosions. Roman also used a Dust crystal to cause an explosion.
