Dungeon Finder?

So, I'm relatively new even though I have had my account since Beta.

Am I missing something or do people just not sign up for the dungeon finder? I mean I can get it to pop for the random daily but not so much for specific dungeons.
problem with random Daily is I got popped into one that I was definitely unfit to heal for and felt bad that I had to drop for the group to continue.

Idea: Random daily gives a bonus. How about completing the individual selected dungeons in dungeon finder will give a bonus for each one completed per day. Maybe even a higher bonus for each cumulative dungeon completed through the Group Finder per day.
Earn a special Chest key (as per undaunted dailies) for completing 5/10/15/20/25 dungeons. key level increases for each bracket. Iron/Orichalc/Dwarven/Ebony/etc etc. (I am sure there are more dungeons than what my list shows as i don't have the Shadows of the Hist DLC or the Morrowind Expac)

I feel this might up the population of the specific dungeon queue.

Again being new I don't know if I am missing some secret to getting the Dungeon finder to pop, but leveling the Dauntless without it seems to be a real pain.

    The problem is the amount of people queueing. You need as many people as possible in one queue for faster groups. That is why they try to promote random. Puts more people in one queue. And the pledges, gets people queueing all for the same specific dungeons.

    If it was just any specific dungeon queues could end up being horrible. There could be 10 healers and 10 tanks all queued but all queued for different dungeons.

    It is why most games give you options but then give you bonuses for selecting random.

    I've talked about my speculation about how the group finder works in detail on a different thread, but the basics are if you queue for a random, it tries to fill you into whatever group that needs your role.

    If you queue for a specific dungeon it tries to form a group around that specific dungeon, trying to pull in people who are queued for that dungeon and people who are queued for a random. If the specific dungeon isn't one of the daily pledges, it will take a lot longer to fill the empty spaces in your group.

    I've found when I queue for a random the group I get put in has 1 or more people who queued for that specific dungeon.
