Optimizing dungeon runs for max gold/loot return in Guild Wars 2

I'm looking to buy an Aetherized Hammer skin from the TP, costs around 500 gold.

Atm, I have about 220 gold.

I grind dungeons a lot as it's the best way I know of getting gold.

One run of CoF p1, can net around 2g - 5g depending on what loot you get.

I don't mind grinding dungeons at all, I'm just wondering is there any way perhaps to optimize runs to increase the gold / loot I can get each time?

UPDATE

In response to Thebluefish's comment, I'm not talking about grinding the same path over and over every day. Each path is only worth running once a day as the rewards drop dramatically after the first run.

I'm referring to an overall dungeon runner build / strategy.

The accepted answer above covers everything pretty well, this is just something extra I picked up myself.

If you spend a lot of your time grinding dungeons, you might have a fair amount of dungeon tokens in your wallet. A handy way of turning tokens into gold is buy dungeon weapons and salvage them with Black Lion salvage Kits.

You'll get some pretty expensive components from them, ectos and such. You can easily get 2+ gold from each weapon. I made 64 gold by emptying my wallet of tokens and salvaging the weapons... serious cash!

This might be common knowledge to most people, but it's new to me!
