One thing I should mention, she plays a ranged DPS, which from my experience have a significantly higher queue time than melee DPS.

This is what I was considering posting but wasn't sure I wanted to give out this little secret. But since you already did I'll second this. DF is designed to try and get an even split between melee and ranged dps. There are far more people playing ranged either because that's what they prefer or are scared to play melee since it takes a little more skill to pull off rotations and has a lot more dodging involved. So ranged get stuck in queue longer while the melee get in ahead of them.

On my drg I never wait more than 5 mins for a roulette. Also when CT first released I geared my BRD then BLM and queues were an hour plus for both. Geared my MNK 3rd and if it wasn't an instant queue it would almost always be less than 5 minutes.

Yes, when I queue up on my brd or smn for, say, a trial or main story roulette the same time as a mnk fc-mate queues, his will pop as fast as a healer, while my '5-min' wait time can often be 15.

EDIT: but 5 hours, hyperbole is one thing, but over 5 hours I don't believe.
