I kind of like them (Destiny)

For a AAA title I don't think this sort of thing is out of reach. The way Destiny works, they could even have their live team make new rooms with new tricks and just sort of slip them in from time to time, or tweak existing rooms. Most of the interesting play in procedural dungeons comes from mixing player and enemy abilities. Maybe you have a room with lava in the middle that you need to jump over. Sometimes the enemies are harpies, who can roam freely, other times vex snipers, and sometimes councellors from the raid which would make player traversal and coordination very important. Different mixes of room geometry, enemies, and player powerups (maybe heavy ammo spawns in that room, maybe only kinetic weapons can be used) would make it very fun.
