With regards to dungeons and trials (normal and hard mode, not EX), longest I ever have to wait is for Expert, which is usually 15~20 minutes. And that's because there's a lot of DPS already queued in front of me.
Depending on the tier of Alexander you're queuing for, queues may be slow, especially for Gordias and Midas since the only reason to run those is for completion/story. The gear drops are obsolete (good for GC turn ins though). If you're queuing for Savage Creator, it would be better to put up a PF. Same for EX trials. With 24-mans, longest wait I've had recently is a 30-minute Syrcus Tower queue. But I also wasn't queuing during prime time, or on Sunday, when most people do CT.
Time of day with regards to your data center is important too. If you're on an NA data center, queuing anytime in the super late/early morning hours is always going to be slow. Just because most of the players on that data center are sleeping. Same thing for EU and JP data centers as well.
PotD isn't killing queue's the huge amount of people playing dps and only dps is killing queues. My queue's are super short.
