Sure, the drawback would be that there might not be enough people to do the Spectral Dragon each time, but perhaps a failed attempt is perferrable to no attempt at all.
That's the challenge, though. For Crystal Cove, you could go in there at any time and single man it.

The Spectral Dragon Chamber can not be single-manned. And often, cannot be short manned.

The only solution I could imagine would be to allow additional entries into the Spectral Dragon Chamber, but to gate them with a dynamically updating window (kind of like a quest entry window) that shows how many others are clicked on the window and waiting for the instance. Once you have a minimum number (12, maybe?), it sucks you into the instance. That way you can be protected from not getting a super empty, short-manned instance (which is very frustrating when it happens).

Something like this, perhaps?
