I think there is one option that would help the DF que: allowing people to chose which gear they can roll need on.

Right now, I'm trying to gear my bard out; however, it's proving fairly difficult since que wait times are so long for DPS. Now, if I que as my scholar, I can at least get tomes out of the dungeons. But when bard gear drops there's nothing I can do.

So what do I do? Sit in a long que as a bard, when I could simply help the situation out by being a healer that has chosen to roll need on bard gear instead of scholar gear.

I understand this might be frustrating for new players that just reached 50. Perhaps there should be a clicky option like the option to join groups already progressed in the instance that allows for you to join groups with people choosing gear for different toons.
