This has been happeing on most of my toons as well. I have to re queue several times or it just seems to get “stuck”

It seems to be worst for Mages and Demon Hunters, and worse again if you are below cap. It is pretty frustrating.

Seems to be affecting mainly my mages and other caster dps for me.
Both my mages one is 110 and one is 120 had queue times of over 40 mins yesterday that is 10 times as long as my other dps classes. Same thing happened last year and I can’t find any acknowledgement from a blue post or tweets yet there seem to be many people having this same issue. Guess I’m going to open a ticket.

My mages on two accounts (120 and about 113) are both getting absurdly long queue times, about 20-30 minutes each. My demon hunters are fine as I go in as tank spec. No other toon horde/alliance has this issue (have one of each class). My baby 51 hunter gets in within minutes…
Both mages are alliance if it matters.
Edit: Forgot I have a horde mage. Will see how that goes in 40 minutes after this alliance mage finishes…
12min for alliance 120 mage
6 minutes for horde 111 mage
3 minutes for alliance 111 rogue
I can live with this. No more 40 min queue though please

My experience has been interesting - one way to put it anyway. On another pally I queued as a healer, and it said 8 min. I figured it just died out for a few. When the queue popped, I suddenly get logged into a random heroic. I was pretty sure I selected the love boss, but maybe I didn’t. I left, getting the debuff.
I did a few other toons, all heals, and they had the expected >1 min wait, and all got into the love boss. I switched back to that same pally, queued again, making sure I selected the chemical boss. Same thing - 8 min queue, when it popped it brought me into a random heroic.
Now, on my DH, I queue for the chemical boss, and it says 40 min wait. I select/de-select several times, but the same thing keeps happening. I’m not about to wait 40 min, but i wonder if that too would be a random dungeon rather than chemical boss.
Similar issue here. On my warlock, queue popped in around 7 minutes, which was fine. Someone didn’t accept, so I got “returned to the front of the queue”. Mm hm. 7 minutes later I’m still waiting. Can’t imagine that no groups have formed in that time. Seems like the queue code needs some fixing.
I’m seeing this too. I’m farming the mount on 11 different dps characters this year. The 2 demon hunters and 1 mage end up with queue times that are much, much longer than the “Average wait time”. Like today for example, the mage typically saw “Average wait time” between 1 and 5 minutes and it actually took 36 minutes. The other dps characters mostly get in with times that match the average.
If the queue code is preventing parties with duplicate dps classes, then the “Average wait time” should reflect that for your class, not all dps.
I know they won’t want to bother maintaining multiple versions of the queue code, but assuming they do do some kind of class balancing for real group content, that is massively unnecessary for holiday bosses and it would be better if all DPS was treated the same for those.

Just spend 33 minutes in the queue on a dps character. When requeuing the LFG icon predicted 4 minute wait. Then a few minutes the average wait time jumped to 35 minutes. All my other dps characters only spent an average of 5 minutes before this same character queued.
I kept seeing 3-4 minutes average time as dps but the actual wait in queue seems to be about 40-45 minutes on my dps.
Blizzard has been very bad at estimating queue timer. I remember a time when the estimate was just a few minutes but it was well over an hour to get in.
I actually think it’s safe to remove the role requirements for the holiday dungeons. I have DPS classes that are level 120 and still in level 100 - 110 gear and I queue as a tank with no tank spec and terrible gear and never once have I or a group come close to dying at times the healers where also low level around the mid 40’s. Right now I’m in queue on my mage for 25+ mins with an average wait time of 3 mins. There is no way that a holiday boss with one of the most sought after mounts in the game has this high of queue times and what’s more alarming that this happens to certain classes year over year with no acknowledgment of an issue.
After 34 minutes in the queue the average wait time was still shown as 13 minutes.
At 44 minutes in the queue the average wait time was predicted to be 28 minutes. Third time this has happened on this character.
I am having an extremely hard time getting in with my mage (115) and priest (112) respectively. The queues are upwards of 20 minutes and currently with my priest, I am sitting on 50 minutes. The rest of my characters get in in less than 5 minutes. It is highly frustrating; I do not have that kind of time to be wasting.

I’m having this issue on my Horde Demon Hunter. My Alliance including my Alliance DH have no issue.
I have this issue on my Alliance Demon Hunter as well, though the queue time is not as extensive as on my mage or priest.
It’s always my demon hunter too. So weird.
Funny thing is I’m having the exact same problem on my Mage in 2020.
