    You queue without it regularly taking 20-30 minutes? I want to be in your server group. (One time... Phew.)

    Perhaps you've been lucky and it hasn't happened to you, but I've queued as non-tank about two times and I've had this happen on both (One only was 3 dodges).
    That's... really not a good sample size. At all. It's rare, it's 15-30 seconds tops most times, and when it isn't, you're still at the front of the line every time. So it doesn't actually affect your queue time at all. It just feels like it does.

    You can make an argument that while you're occupied with the troll tank for 2-3 seconds, you might've missed a legitimate tank queueing up, but since every time he (the troll tank) drops queue he also drops his position in queue, that's highly unlikely.

    A more elegant solution would be to keep the queue popping from telling you which bosses have been downed in the instance or the time remaining, but punishing people that do this is utterly ridiculous, absurd and will only cause queue times to increase for in-progress groups.

    You lose no time for people doing this, although it gets annoying hearing your machine sound like you won a jackpot in a slot machine for a whole minute.
    This post wins the thread.
