There is a bidding guide that is posted on the ALPA site that includes all the recent forced displacement and proffer to displace techniques. They sent multiple emails with actual examples of how to build your 3P the last two vacancies and will likely do it again when the bid closing date gets near. What additional information are you looking for?
In your case I would probably use displacements with all DFW first followed by airplanes that would get you back to DFW and eliminate any preferences that would cause a seat lock away from DFW. Avoiding the CRJ would be advisable unless you want to roll the dice on a quick displacement
Edit: If you're really junior do everything you can to get into ORD EMB/E75 since that will be a somewhat easier commute and still get you back to DFW when you can hold it
