I personally feel that quantum dumping is a bit of an exploit, so I only dump when a chasm or magma is available. Otherwise, I build. Build and build and build.

Goblin pricking does not sound like it could pay well enough.

In real life mining, moving out rocks actually accounts for a large amount of the time and money spent on digging. Realistically, it'd be nice to see minecarts pulled by donkeys to keep everything clear.

I usually just leave them where they lie, I dig too aggressively to manage them, and am also lazy. Sometimes I make special stockpiles for decorative rocks.

The use of pack animals and/or carts to haul loads of multiple items at once would be a useful addition overall, and might even be in the bloats somewhere already.
