During Yamato's explanation, we were told and shown that he uses Earth in one hand, Water in the other and joining them together produces Wood. Well, this kinda sounds problematic with 3 natures, while having just 2 hands.

So how to solve this... well, 2 natures in hand while 1 nature in the other sounds stupid, so indeed 1 advanced nature in each hand makes up more sense. Therefore yes, I think that the possibility of Kekkei Tota being a merger of 2 nature Kekkei Genkai is high.

And yes, Onoki has been shown using just Dust, but then again we have all these characters not using natures that according to Jin no Sho they apparently can, so yeah, not shown using =/= incapable of using.

The only canonical evidence to the above theory is Kurotsuchi having Lava. So Dust being Lava Release + "x" other advanced Release is probable indeed. Then, dust release = lava release(fire+earth) + wind.
