Well they (or you, for that matter) need to tell me what the problem is.  I am certainly not greatly interested in tracking down just what is wrong on my own, though I can certainly change things.

It's probably the mention of D&D in a completely unrelated setting, and the... Dragon-y bits.

Dang.
Oh well, I can certainly un-dragon things.  Or at least, un-dragon most of the things.
Revision incoming.

Well here's the problems that I see:
1. You can't really breathe fire. I suppose you could chew up or drink dust or something, but you cant make an element or something without dust, because dust is the element.
2. You can't really change your entire bodily shape.
3. D&D =/= RWBY. You can't just slap something from D&D into RWBY and think it can conform with the canon.

1)Well yes, materials would obviously be required?  I wasn't aware it needed to be explicitly mentioned though.
2)Yeah,that was a bit of a reach.  It won't be in the revision.
3)Yes, which is why I pretty much didn't.  The closest I really got was referencing the various breath attacks and associated colors, but really.

1. You could probably just put red dust in its powder form in your mouth, and breath it out as you ignite it with your aura.

You seem to be missing the point.
It's not firebreath.  It's a breath attack which would be based off of the properties of any given Dust. 
I really don't quite get this system.  Is Dust used up if you don't shoot it at somebody, what is permissible for Semblances...(Obviously not dragons).

Revision incoming, I reiterate.
Pretty much, you can use it with any dust.
Dust is the form magic and the elements take, kinda like that one stuff in that one final fantasy game. It is used in everyday life ever since it was used by mankind to overcome the Grimm; for combat it's mostly used as ammunition for firearm-type transformations, but it could also be used as a propellant or wielded as a medium for your semblance; for example, Cinder, one of the antagonists, sent a large stream of fire at Glynda to cover their escape; she used red dust to do so, as it is the element itself she needed. Weiss uses dust to give her glyphs other powers, Ruby uses gravity dust for her scythe, Yang uses fire dust for her weapon, etc. Its pretty much what runs the world.
For more, watch this World of Remnant video.
And yes, it's used up once you use it.

Upon further review...Why no dragons?  I mean, with several people who can make things, even temporary things, it doesn't seem too far-fetched if I rephrase things.

I'd prefer to be in this thread, if it's all the same to you.

Watching it for the first time.
In other news, Jaune and Ruby are my new favorite characters and they should be together immediately.
