I've only ever tanked or healed. I've never waited longer than 2 minutes to be placed in a group. Today I switched to damage and so far i've been in queue 5 times, once was 12 minutes but all other times were over 30 minutes for random veteran groups. To make things worse I was kicked immediately from several groups including once when reasoning was given as to "invite a friend" thus allowing another damage dealer to completely bypass the queue which I just waited through.
End the tedious inventory management game.
