I like your ideas, however i think launcher is already the place for pinning apps. In dash we should show the most often used apps which are NOT pinned in the launcher.

As the main purpose here is to have a sight on our Activity , having the launcher's pinned app makes sens, since we could unpinned them from there without closing the Dash and continuing exploring our activity , that is why I show the launcher's pinned app. But there are some app we don't use on the regular basic but when we do use it, we don't want to have to search for it and don't want it to appear in the Dock: MusicBrainz is such an example: I don't use it on a regular basis , but I do use it , once a week, so having it pinned in the Dash would be good.
We could add to it an Entry for the recently Installed App, so we would no more need to add a just installed app to the Dock to be able to locate it on the system: Our Activity View shows us what we are doing.
