A way to more easily pick which specific dungeons you want is fine.
But, letting people pick what they want to do and still get random rewards undermines the ability for RND to create groups for the people who need help with something specific. That's the purpose of the random finder in the first place. It's there to fill in groups. It places you where you're needed rather than what you want to do, and compensates you for letting it do that.
That being that it not be another iteration of the random dungeon finder with the transmute/XP boost reward; I feel that if they do that we're going to see even more threads about "fake" roles pop up or even more kicking from groups and complaints about that.
yes a seperate queue for DLC dungeons would be nice, a seperate queue base game dungeons also

RND is also for getting low level or player with less CP then the rest of group to even be able to do more demanding dungeons and progress

Agreed! This is a great point.
With the Normal or Veteran Randoms, they should stay as is to be the source of Transmute / Daily XP boost. Getting the bonus rewards and XP should continue to invite the quite literal randomness of which dungeon and the player's teammates in group. While the Specific Queue will have Specific N/V Dungeon, oryes a seperate queue for DLC dungeons would be nice, a seperate queue base game dungeons also
Base Game Dungeons and DLC Dungeons, absolutely.
Activity Finder > Dungeon Finder > Normal / Veteran Dungeon > Random Dungeons, Specific Dungeons, Core Dungeons (? working title I suppose), and DLC Dungeons

If it's just an option that checks them all for you, it wouldn't. It's already the case that the specific queue and the random queue are the same pool, despite being in different tabs. All the random queue does is check you down for all dungeons you're eligible to do.

Yes, but still, all the players that selected DLC only are not an option anymore for the non-DLC groups, and currently they are an option for the non-DLC groups.

They are already not an option because they are people that are already selecting themselves into specific dungeons.

Even if selecting a specific dungeon they can still be an option for groups queuing for pledges (if the specific dungeon selected is a dungeon that is also a pledge for that day), also they can still be an option for random dailies (100% an option as they can be put in a random daily - let's say the player selected FG2 specifically and the tool uses FG2 as the random dungeon for the group that queued for a random daily), etc.

And they still would be with this suggestion.
You can already do this and people do already do this. They are just asking for it to be less button presses.
Edit:
For the sake of example let's pretend there are only 4 base game dungeons
Select FG1
Select FG2
Select BC1
Select BC2
Queue: queues you for all selected dungeons
Matchmaker: places you with anyone who selected the same dungeons or RND
With suggestion
Select all normals
Queue: queues you for FG1, FG2, BC1, BC2
Matchmaker: places you with anyone who selected those same dungeons or RND

You are forgetting this option:
Queue: Group queues for random daily (and the players don't have ESO Plus nor any DLC's so they have to receive a non-DLC dungeon)
Players that selected DLC dungeons only will not be in the pool of available players to fill that random daily, however, if the DLC only option doesn't exist, they are an option to fill that random daily.
So, the waiting time of the group that queued for the random daily will be higher as the search pool has less players available to select a fill.

I am not forgetting that. Those people queued for a specific dungeon and were already currently excluded from filling that random daily. Anyone who wouldn't want those random daily rewards are already not queued to fill that group. They are selecting specific dungeons.

How they are excluded? If I select a specific dungeon (let's say Icereach) and a group selects a radom daily, the finder can put me in their group, me getting Icereach as the specific dungeon I selected and the group getting Icereach as the random daily.

this isn't going to change anything

I would understand if I selected the vanilla dungeons since it's a wayyy smaller selection, but DLC outweighs vanilla by a lot by now. So, genuinely asking out of pure curiosity, is it really the same pool? Random daily seems to be near instant, but specific takes maybe 5-7 minutes.

Yes it's going to change things (not extremely of course) and I already explained why very clearly, several times.
In any case, @spartaxoxo is who has the most clear idea of the situation.
