I'm having a hard time customizing the test database setup behavior. I would like to achieve the following:
I'm having a hard time getting the testsuiterunner to bypass creation.

To help you get started, Django provides and uses a sample settings module that uses the SQLite database. See Using another settings module to learn how to use a different settings module to run the tests with a different database.
By default pytest-django will set up the Django databases the first time a test needs them. Once setup, the database is cached to be used for all subsequent tests and rolls back transactions, to isolate tests from each other. This is the same way the standard Django TestCase uses the database.
The request factory class RequestFactory. The RequestFactory shares the same API as the test client. However, instead of behaving like a browser, the RequestFactory provides a way to generate a request instance that can be used as the first argument to any view.
Fast forward to 2016 and the ability to retain the database between tests has been built into django. It's available in the form of the --keep flag to manage.py
New in Django 1.8. Preserves the test database between test runs. This has the advantage of skipping both the create and destroy actions which can greatly decrease the time to run tests, especially those in a large test suite. If the test database does not exist, it will be created on the first run and then preserved for each subsequent run. Any unapplied migrations will also be applied to the test database before running the test suite.
This pretty much fullfills all the criteria you have mentioned in your questions. In fact it even goes one step further. There is no need to import the dump before each and every run.

This TEST_RUNNER works in Django 1.3
