Why is the next new job a melee DPS?

So why the f are all the queue times for us DPS 40+ minutes?

The queue times for DPS are generally high, because there are more people playing dps than the other roles even accounting for the 1-1-2 ratio in most content save alliance raids.

In a dungeon dps are 2/4 of the slots but more than half of the people are generally queueing as dps, hence a longer wait.

In terms of older raids for story, that's largely because of people being able to duck out of doing raids they don't want to by reducing their ilvl by removing gear. So if you want to do orbonne monestary for example, a lot of people queueing for alliance raid roulette are avoiding it by cheesing with gear.
