For me, leveling up my dragons takes a back seat to getting the new island. I've got way too many habitats with two more becoming available and a full storage tower of decorations with no room to display them. So new island is more important to me. I do, however have a strategy for leveling up my dragons. Epics automatically go to Level 10 the moment they hatch. For the rest, top priority went to getting at least one in every element up to 20 for the Colosseum. Level 20 dragons always win gold in the Colosseum and that's 7 gems a week. Next priority is leveling up to 20 whatever dragons are needed to breed the coming month's gem dragon. Better breeding odds mean more gem dragons successes (as a result my gem island is full and produces 4 gems a day every day or 28 gems a week). Third priority is to level up whatever I need to increase success in breeding newly released dragons. Fourth priority is to level up dragons in habitats that hold the most dragon cash (earth, metal, dark and light)- the ones that don't top out between my collections so that I maximize cash earnings capacity. More cash = more money for more food to level up still more dragons.
