There are rails on the BC at roughly 2, 5, 7 and 11 o'clock that need lube, they are what bears on the upper receiver. The sides of the gas block could use bit of lube also. The rest of the carrier only needs enough lube/protection to prevent rust
The bolt and it's recess in the carrier and the cam slot need a light film. Frankly, I prefer a dry film lube (Dri-Slide), but I've used others. I avoid petroleum lubes in the bolt recess of the carrier to reduce carbon formation.
This lube system has worked well for me in a variety of climates and temperatures. Dunking your BCG is neither necessary nor desirable-special circumstances excepted.
