Slow and steady is a better approach here. Instead of aiming for 1-2 minute playtime, you should instead aim for a high success rate to avoid having to make multiple attempts. A Goblin Assassin or Dwarf Rogue with a fine sword preparation, and maybe a blacksmith item or booster prep if you really feel you need to push it, should reliably beat almost any hard-difficulty dungeon in the hands of a veteran.
The big question I'm wondering is whether it's worthwhile to complete the Bazaar and Complicated Task quests to improve your shop pool.
EDIT
Just did a run-down of every trophy to make sure I wasn't missing any:
Never Appears Randomly
De-Animated Helm - Hall of Steel
Changeling Essence - shifting passages
Nose Ring - Labyrinth
Naga Tail - ick swamp
Vampire Fangs - eastern tundra
Druid Stick - western jungle
Preset and Random
Gooey Mess - Northern Desert, Slime Pits / unlock Warlord
Bandit Scalp - Berserker Camp / unlock Assassin
Dragon Scale - Cursed Oasis / unlock Paladin
Golem Rock - Rock Garden / unlock Bloodmage
Wraith Cowl - Creeplight Ruins / unlock Berserker
Serpent Fang - Southern Swamp / unlock Monk
Gorgon Head - Hexx Ruins / unlock Rogue
Zombie Brain - Havensdale Bridge / no unlock
Warlock Beard - Northern Desert / no unlock
Goblin Bone - Magma Mines / no unlock
Meatloaf - Slime Bit / no unlock
Only Appears Randomly
Goat Horn - tutorials / unlock Sorcerer
Goat Horn, Wraith Cowl, Serpent Fang, Vampire Fangs and Druid Stick are actually impossible to avoid, since they appear on single-boss gateway dungeons. Meatloaf and Goblin Bone should appear randomly fairly early due to not requiring class unlocks. Warlock Beard, Gooey Mess, Golem Rock, and Zombie Brain should all be fairly easy to grab from their preset locations, so long as you make sure to leave the appropriate trophy on the ground.
That leaves the 4 sub-vicious dungeons, the Bandit Scalp, and the Dragon Scale as the only notable outliers.
