As it currently is, the labor settings allow or disallow a dwarf from performing certain jobs.

I'd like it if the settings rather would make the chosen jobs an absolute priority, so that idle dwarfs would take up other jobs that need to be done.

Or maybe make the system so that there are disallowed, allowed and favored jobs, so one can have, for example, dedicated miners that do anything else but doctoring jobs when there is no mining to be done.

Job priorities are right next on the list. It's why we had dwarven personality rewrite to begin wuth.

Oops. Sorry for not checking, nevermind then.
And it's even got job priorities for dwarfs and jobs separately!

There's no death penalty on being human, do consider making the development list your friend though

Good enhancement suggestion to basic job priorities, but it's worth mentioning that the bit you said at the end is crucial: there must always be ways to completely forbid jobs if desired, for certain necessary micromanaging (such as setting up a sacrificial lava mining dwarf, and not having him go run off to milk a cow while you're trying to brick him in).
