No, the other dungeons are not as profitable.

1. The runners charge more.
2. The runners speed run - skipping rooms, hidden chests, locked chests and killing as few monsters as possible.
3. This results in few drops and few points in exchange for your gold.

Just keep doing the CoF runs, when you max your deldrimor title, you can work on your Vanguard as the dungeon also awards 1125 Vanguard points upon Murakai's death.

You only get the larger points the first time through in NM and in HM. After that, it is a very small amount. If you are going to do the run, do it for the profit.

CoF is the only one like this where the people paying for the run can make a small profit. all other dungeons are comparatively more difficult, therefore runners charge more money than what u can make in a single run.

No other dungeons are not as profitable. People just take runs to get either the rare drop, like emerald in kathy and frog in bogroot etc. People mostly run these sc, so its quicker, but less profitable, only if you get a good item from end chest. Or they get a run to get points for master of the north title.
CoF is most profitable, but better start learning to run it, as thats even more profitable

Its a nice way to get cash by doing nothing, but you can get way more by doing something.

CoF is the only dungeon where you can make a profit. This is due mainly to the runners themselves, not the difficulity of the dungeon. There are several where you could make a profit but the runners charge too much for them. Being a smiter on several dungons I prefer the high profit margins one for my time so I can't really blame them. If you want to make money, stick with CoF.

From the wiki (and my own experience)

"1500 Ebon Vanguard reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon for the first time in normal mode, and 750 points are awarded for subsequent completions. 2250 Ebon Vanguard reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon in hard mode for the first time, and 1125 points are awarded for subsequent completions."

Check your log as soon as Murakai dies. That's when the points are awarded.

I think Theodenking was still thinking about the previous system (pre-Nov 13th update) when back then you only got 200/300 (Nm/HM) Ebon Vanguard points after your first completion.

This, best way of making money is if you've got a monk, completed EoTN, and got a few heroes with all the campaigns, then run it yourself, its a really easy run, although i still cannot do it the speed that ive been run (im usually about 10 minutes slower -.-)

As Lewis91 said, get a monk and run yourself. However, if you start running I would definately not do CoF. Too many runners and not enough profit margin. I would say do Vloxen Excavations. Can do with 3 man and make around 30k per person x 5 people. If you want something a little easier SoO is good, but not as many people want that run.
