That’s great. I’m explaining the issue the OP and others were experiencing earlier. Whether it’s been fixed or is intermittent no one knows.

OP was queued as a healer but did they have the healer role checked? Even if you’re in a healing spec, if you don’t usually queue as healer on that toon you’ll have to manually check the healer box on the lfg window otherwise, regardless of spec, you’re queueing as a dps. If the healer role WAS selected and they were in a healing spec while in queue, then yes, the queues are borked which comes as no surprise when dealing with Blizzard, especially this xpac 
And just to reiterate:
After 30 minutes on a DPS/Heal queue, I switched to my Evoker, queued AS ONLY DPS, and got in after 2.5 minutes.
There is a queue issue here. It is not a “too many DPS” issue.

Yes. As did others who were speaking of it in trade chat.
Yes. Exactly the point of the thread.
At least someone finally gets it, thank you. lol

actually in most pug content healer is the shortage.
Honestly for even like this even if you are a dps spec just queue as tank is fine there is no tank needed these so call event boss hit like a wet noodle. You can do it with just 5 dps.
Yeah, it’s always good to eliminate user error before passing blame hence why I wanted clarification lol. I know when I first started queueing as tank/healer today, I spent 10 minutes in queue on a tank/dps character even though I was in tank spec. Checked lfg and I hadn’t selected the tank role, only the dps one. Unqueued, checked tank role box, and requeued and queue popped within 3 minutes.

Always been this way for me, some chars it’s like broken. Their queues are always 30+ mins, other chars are quick to instant - all as DPS. Always an issue with this event and the Valentines one only
Okay, I got Arfus on my 7th toon. I don’t care enough about the drake armor to deal with these borked queue times. X_X

Average Wait Time: 3 Minutes
Time in Queue: Heat Death of the Universe

The universe has a pretty decent chance of dying in the cold and dark as well. Guess we’ll find out which one it is if we queue long enough. 
All holiday queues, always, hate my mages for some reason. Always have. I always set aside about 30 minutes for my mages to be in queue even as my Rogues, Hunters, Elemental Shaman and other DPS-spec characters breeze in in a few minutes.
Warlocks too.
I don’t know why, I don’t know if the dungeon is trying to balance ranged and melee or something and five billion boosts and trials are getting constantly rolled up to spam the dungeons, but it has always been that way for some reason.
I think it does what the normal dungeon queue does and try to balance armor type.
Cause today it’s my leather toons having trouble. My mail toons got 2 minute queues, cloth had ~6 minutes, and plate had ~5 minutes.
if your guildie is not max level and they gained a level while in queue, they will need to re-queue as it messes up the queue system.
Ok made a bad assumption when I was still at work. Sorry.
I agree that something is wonky with the queue and they need to fix it. I sat in queue for almost 45 minutes and dropped because the timer was saying 3 minutes average wait… Went back in and waited another 30 and nothing happened.
Just queue as a tank, even if you can’t tank just queue as one. Usually some other melee or overly-geared player takes over.
Not to mention, this post is stupid. They can’t even “fix” SS yet you expect them to fix Headless Horseman? Lol.
Just adding that I’ve experienced similar. Fast queues on DPS and tanks, instant queues on healers, but now I’m on a DPS-only class and it’s suddenly thirty minutes long. Hope to see a fix of some sort.
