if you're queued for more than 15 minutes requeue and one should pop-up soon. Also, if you queue for a specific dungeon expect your times to be longer. Big tip: find some guildies or even zone chat players to give you a hand...get a few in the group and the remaining roles should fill up quicker for you.
Good luck OP!

Thank you Odovacar! YepI usually try and grab some guildies but sometimes I like PUGs it keeps me on my toes! Yeah I know weird eh? I didn't know that about the queing for specific dungeons, I guess that includes the three undaunted dailies?

Waiting 20 to 30 minutes to get a group, or waiting that long and the system just unques you for no reason(this has happened a few times in the last week btw), or zoning and just as you zone you get the queue invite only to have it gone and you have to requeue again after you zone and so on and so on.
Something is broken with the group finder anyway. Last night i queued for Stone Garden normal. I waited about 40 minutes and nothing. I finally just soloed a normal dungeon and requed and within ten minutes had the invite. Then of all things my daily random ended up being Stone Garden right after that which was about a 20 minute wait.
Just tossing out some ideas here but anything is better than this as a DPS. (And yes I could play my healer or tank but this is my new toon). How about normal dungeon option with no healer or tank, just take your chances. I can pretty much solo most of those anyway except those that require a group like Direfrost due to mechanics etc. Or even two man option? Make the dungeons a little harder in that case. Not the best options I'll admit but this is getting OLD fast. I was semi fine with it until the bug started happening where you get unqueued for no reason at all just a BUG!.
RANT OVER now back to regularly scheduled programming.

It's because there is a severe shortage of players who play as tanks, even more so on this game than is usual for an MMORPG. They need to stop nerfing tanks, and start taking their problems seriously (like pets blocking their view so they can't watch for animations to block etc.). This game neglects tanks and actively works to make them secondary to DPS characters, so it really isn't any wonder when people stop playing them. Maybe when the precious DPS characters can't get into queues they will finally start taking this issue seriously and start paying some needed attention to tanks except when it comes to nerfing them so DPS classes can kill the more easily. Because that's usually the only time they pay any attention to them.
So keep threads like this coming.
I’m not against adding a wildcard queue that has no role requirements, in addition to the regular queue. As long as everyone knows what they are getting into, I don’t see the harm.
It’s somewhat unfortunate that dungeons were not designed with a scalable difficulty based on the number of people in the group. That would have eliminated wait times completely and accommodated more play styles.
I want to do the undaunted random normal/vets for the rewards/geodes but i am tired of waiting or getting groups with toxic people and people who drop from party for no reason.
Is there a way to get these random normal/vets to port you solo?
I used to Tank...
But with all the pets flapping in my face, and having folks screaming "Fake Tank" at the top of their lungs... I just stopped queuing up for Dungeons... and in a few weeks I can just grab a friend and we can do dungeons with our companions.

You could just join a guild and make friends.

I dont like the suggestion because its not solving any of the issues Tanks and Healers are facing that are key to the problem. It instead would just put a cosmetic sticker over it to cater towards DDs.
Besides the obvious player made problems there are lots of design issues that are never adressed, and even worse often not even acknowledged by DD players. So there is limited support and interest in solving all the issues.
I assume that everyone knows what iam talking about so ill not list stuff up. As long as DD players act like support players are beneath them and their servants and the devs do zero to help support players this situation will not change.
I've done Vet DLC dungeons on tank, heal and dps. Bad players are a burden to the group regardless of their role.
they should do what FFXIV does with the dungeon finder and split them up into categories. It has a section for raids/trials, which would clear out Craglorn chat and make a lot of normal clears much easier to do, and it's got the base game dungeons and the expansion/DLC dungeons in different categories as well.
