Maybe the contact points are completely worn and that the dust if from them?? Maybe water getting in and rusting something?

Yup bearing is going south.
You can change the bearing...unless you want to pay ~200 bucks(For a complete distributor)....compare to ~10$(For the bearing)
You should check for that site how to rebuilt your distributor.Just be careful with those 3 Torx bolt.You'll have to use some torch...to get them out without breaking them in the casing.
