I would suggest
creating an action that is triggered off your specific content type.
for example:
My action is triggered off the document browse menu. the evaluator i use jjust overrides teh "evaluate' method and determines the type of content it is

<actions>
         <!– Launch Add Aspect Dialog –>
         <action id="add_region">
            <label>Add Region</label>
            <image>/images/icons/add.gif</image>
         <action-listener>#{BrowseBean.setupContentAction}</action-listener>
                <action>wizard:addRegion</action>

            <evaluator>com.nkics.fmc.alfresco.ext.action.evalutator.AddRegionEvaluator</evaluator>

            <params>
               <param name="id">#{actionContext.id}</param>
            </params>
         </action>

         <!– Add action to more actions menu for each space –>
         <action-group id="document_browse_menu">
            <action idref="add_region" />
         </action-group>
      </actions>

The default "editContentProperties" dialog lives within the global config section i.e. it's not restricted by type. To use a different "editContentProperties" dialog for a particular type do the following:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="my:toto">
   <dialogs>
      <dialog name="editContentProperties"
                  page="/jsp/extension/edit-content-properties.jsp"
                  managed-bean="EditContentPropertiesDialog"
                  icon="/images/icons/edit_properties_large.gif"
                  title-id="modify_content_properties"
                  description-id="edit_content_description" />
   </dialogs>
</config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This should use the custom version for your type only and the default one for every other type.
