> I would like some opinions on dressage instruction for endurance riders.

I think other posters have pretty well summed this up, but get a different
instructor!  The German methods where you dictate every little step the
horse takes is suitable for Warmbloods--it is not suitable for Arabs, nor is
it suitable for general riding.  I don't mind the deep seat part--you need
that.  But dressage should be about establishing the most subtle, lightest
communication possible.
