It's interesting that Homeric Dione was Aphrodite's mother, and Hesiodic Dione, although quoted as some important deity, was just mentioned as an Oceanid.

Can't see the etymological connection between Hera and Juno though. I rather agree with ancient Frazer that Juno [j=d/j] equals Dione;

and i agree with this author:

"Etymology: DIONE was the goddess of the oracle of Dodona in Thesprotia, and the mother of Aphrodite by Zeus. Her name is simply the feminine form of Zeus (Dios) (DIONE)."
