I agree with more levels/islands but not necessarily the other two suggestions. I understand your list is a wishlist and do not mean to come across as critical. Here are my thoughts on the same wishes.

Gems are already quite easy to come by with a little patience and BFS needs some sort of revenue stream to keep DV ad-free (check out some other freemium games - the ads are horrible, DV is a jewel by comparison). Get a gifting tree and build a circle of reliable trading friends, this together with the Colosseum brings in 8-11 gems a day. Additionally you can earn a few a day on average from racing, and once you get some Gemstone dragons that's up to 12 more free gems a week. I just started playing in early or mid September and I've already got the tree, upgraded breeding island, 4 nests in my nursery, and I'm less than 10 gems from upgrading my cave...all without buying gems. All it takes is a little patience. Also, resist the urge to blow gems speeding up your breedings until you have the upgrades you want. I wasted probably 80 gems on this trying to get some limited dragons and never got them :(

I would like to see some rare/limited dragons that include the Metal element but the overall scheme for "standard" elements seems to be the larger the habitat the less gold per minute, which makes sense in a way. It forces the player to make decisions about whether to have a balanced-looking park, or lay down tons of high-capacity habitats. I went for a balanced layout myself. One of my trading friends went for 20-something Rainbow habitats and two others went heavy on metal and earth habitats. It all boils down to each player's preference.
