Changes "Vote to Kick" Needs

I have read many posts here about how the kick button is abused and I couldn't agree more. It's annoying to be kicked constantly.
However, I do not think it should be removed completely.
There are only a couple of viable reasons when a player should be kicked:
(1) If the player is a bully. No one likes a person who is being a jerk.
(2) If the player is not pulling their weight. Sometimes a different class is needed, its nothing personal. I typically play with three friends in order to avoid the boot, but there is no reason to kick the two random players right off the bat. One, they can be friends just looking to play, and two, give them a chance to evaluate how they play, by the first couple of mobs you can see how well the group works together.
However, most people kick because of selfish reasons:
(1) Greed, most likely the biggest factor. People don't want competition for their purple drops and/or they want their group to have 100% chance of getting the loot.
(2) Feel they are superior and the other person is too low level. I don't know how many times people complain about gearscore! To be honest, I don't think gearscore is all the important anyways. It really think it is how your character is spec'd and how well everyone performs as a team. If you can get into the queue, then you clearly are qualified for the dungeon.
(3) Lack of team confidence. Some people just don't have faith that their current group setup can complete the dungeon.
(4) Because everybody else does it. If you have this mentality then I feel sorry for you, just because "everyone else does it" does not mean it is right, just or okay.
Like I said I don't believe the option should be completely removed, but rather modified:
Problem: Getting kicked after final boss because people are greedy, thus denying you from loot.
Solution: Remove the option to vote to kick during final boss fight and after final boss has been defeated.
Problem: People join in the game half-way through and immediately vote to kick.
Solution: Give the people who join in a 3 minute cool-down on the vote to kick. It sucks doing a four hour dungeon just for some d-bag to join in and vote to kick you out. Simply if they cannot vote right away they'd probably leave on their own.
Problem: Spam Voting
Solution: Add a vote to kick cool-down! I typically will not start a dungeon without being in a group of three because then there is vote immunity and power. However, it's annoying when two other friends join in and back-to-back are voting to kick one of us out. If the group votes NO the first time, then tough luck, the player who called the vote should have to wait about 3 minutes until they can call the vote again.
Problem: The Queue System
Solution: When you queue for dungeon you shouldn't be allowed to vote to kick for about 3 minutes. If you're going to queue, don't be picky about your teammates. If you want specific people take the time to go find them by looking for a group.
