Well, maybe you should level a tank or healer.

You're a troublemaker. I like that. 8D

Why give a crap about that average wait time in the first place?

Everyone knows theres a shortage of Tanks, and Heals to an extend: why bother about that number????

Ok SE removed it in 2.3, are you now waiting more happily? ^^

If you in fact are annoyed of waiting 40 mins as DD, than other ppl gave you a solution here.

It is the average for that job, and also takes into account how many people are still needed. But it's an average, sometimes queue goes faster than average, sometimes slower, sometimes very very slower.
If you join the same dungeon as tank, healer or DPS, the average it shows is not the same.

It's better to know about how much wait time you will have, you can decide to craft or fate in the meantime, and know when you have to start to think in swapping jobs to be able to join in time.

The point was: its an average and you will not know your exact waiting time, calculating it precisely is not possible.

Maybe SE should just state the following instead of concrete numbers..

Waiting time: Short
Waiting time: Moderate
Waiting time: Long

You would still have no idea ^^ and would not be disappointed by false expectations.
