What? No.

For a given duty there's a line of tanks, a line of healers, and a line of dps (that wraps around two city blocks). When you get to the head of the line you join whatever duty was selected. But it's closer to a priority queue than a simple one. People who have directly queued for an instance get priority over those that have queued for any roulettes that cover that duty. Party members all get selected together.

Illmaeran's suggestion would simply alter the priority. As the people ahead of you get selected the person behind you moves in front of you. If there's nobody behind you then you move up. If you're #1 and still in CS then it works as if there's nobody in queue until you exit the CS.
