Whoa, the new version is such a noticeable improvement!

Loving the new boss rooms, inner gameplay areas and variety of paths. Wall textures are looking really good. And you figured out all the plugs and sockets so fast, well done :)

This design is getting really close to being Approved, but there are a couple of things that still need to be adjusted real quick:

there are no mob spawns in the boss room
The only mobs that i can seem to find are the one mob spawn near the jump pads and then a couple in the gameplay area. While the limit of NPCs that WILL SPAWN per 1-star dungeon is 5, there should be at least 10 possible spawn locations for them throughout the dungeon, with a couple in a boss room. Please place a few extra ones here and there.

there are a bit too many traps
There should not be more than 10 active traps per room, and this is the max number that is meant for a rather spacious location. With the current size of boss room i would say 4-6 traps (not counting spikes here) would be quite enough. Permafrost spawns pretty early in the game so the dungeons do not need to be overly dangerous.
As for corridors - since they are so narrow, it might be good to reduce the amount of spikes here just a little bit. the amount of active traps seem to be ok.

the variations of a top piece (outside) are not noticeable
You nailed the variation of the corridors, but this dungeon still looks exactly the same every time you look at it from the outside. I mean, technically they are different (small snow sparks are placed in different spots on the dome) - but this is difference that one has to look really hard for to notice and it will not be noticeable in game as dungeons do not always face the same way.
I understand updating Top1-2 would require placing all the decorations anew and that could take a long time, so if you are looking for quicker solution without having to change those rooms id suggest making an extra Bottom part instead. The image below is not looking too great, but just as an example - you could add glassy icicles and some piles of extra ice around, so when this bottom spawns with any of two tops - the end result will look different. 
And if you are having an extra Bottom added, it might aswell have updrafts or antigravity blocks instead of jump pads :)

Overall - really good progress! One last push and the dungeon should be good to go.
