    Not a fan of that solution:
    - If I'm using dungeon to level (items on the side, so it's not unrealistic), I want to fight all of the trash. NOT part done.
    - If it's like healer/tank gone and 2 DPS remain, I don't want to join the group only to wait on the other to join.
    - If the partial group is bad and I just finished leaving them seconds ago, I don't want put back in that group.

    And in case any of the above happens, what's to prevent me from simply leaving and trying again a minute later? Maybe a mechanism to stop that, but wouldn't want to be too horribly draconian with it.

    A better thing to do, in my opinion, would just be to make "Join Party in Progress" default on (currently is default off). A lot of people simply don't think to check it. And people who actively don't want it can uncheck of course. That way at least a bit better of chance of re-filling a group. Group without a tank may as well just break up currently -- replacement possible, but extremely unlikely.

    - As a tank you get pretty much instant queues so for leveling purposes it doesn't matter as you can just immediately rejoin another dungeon once the partial one is finished.
    - It does not add you to groups that are waiting, only groups that are ready to continue. So in your example the healer spot is filled first (usually), they all then wait for a tank and only once one is found is the healer even notified about the group. Both tank and healer get teleported to the dungeon simultaneously.
    - If you leave you get a deserter debuff and won't be put back in the same group.
