With multi toons M4 has turned even more into waiting game
* get quests from a remote NPC and run to dragon area
* wait up to 20 minutes
* fight for 30 seconds
* run back to the remote place in PE (must get my daily gold spam exposition!) to turn in the quest
* change toon
* repeat
Yes, most of the time is waiting, even worse than in M3 waiting for HE's
I think it is absolutely absurd that you have to change instance every 2 minutes to be able to actually play the new content.
I feel your pain. Currently I only play one character. And I can't imagine how players who play multiple characters can manage to do that everyday.

It's not so bad for me usually. I can swap zones and sometimes get decent timers, otherwise I can wait on my 2nd monitor and browse there. If it's common cause I can do the dungeon first and come out to hopefully a better timer. Though I've only been doing 2 zones on 8 toons. There really isn't enough time in the day...
Changing instances is kind of immersion breaking, but, on the same hand, I am glad we can do it so it can shorten our wait times on dragon respawns.

I am going to repeat my #1 complaint once more - the player-per-instance limit in the Whispering Caverns is way too high ... the poor dragon gets swarmed by 40 players, and the fight is over very quickly. This also means that there are too few instances, and the chance for "Great Success" is too low - at least for certain classes.
Hoping for improvements...

4 sigils for the first day, 3 after that including the solo instance. Hopefully unlocking whispering cavers can give you 6 a day, that would allow you to get a key every day at least for the dungeon which isn't too much to ask for...
Unfortunately, no... you get 5 per day - at least that is what I got both yesterday and the day before. - You need 6 secrets and 6 sigils for a dungeon key - and if you do the quests in all 5 zones you get 6 secrets and 5 sigils.

This is a bit annoying.
Yep, I still wonder if you can get any extra from doing 5/5 of whispering caverns or in the skirmish/dungeon chests. At just 5 it's kind of lame to have that extra push to the zen store. Though I guess if you really wanted to you could alternate between the skirmish and then dungeon on alternate days to still get 1 per day.

Yeah... however - there is one extra twist. I did once get the quest that sent me to the minidungeon/instance in the Whispering caverns, and I am almost sure it said the reward was 2 sigils, so I should have gotten 6 that day - however I am also almost sure I only got 5 sigils in total on that day - so either there is a bug, or my memory is faulty (which is quite possible)....I'll pay closer attention the next time I get that quest.
