    12 AM PST / 3 AM EST until early afternoon = Hunt time, easier to hunt with less a-holes around.

    Something to note is that your data center has many low population servers, so now with the hunts around you will be affected more than people in Primal.

    My roulette has increased drastically this last 2 weeks, my WHM usually had queues of under 5mins and they are now all in the 10-15mins. My DGN/MNK went up from 8-10mins average to nearly 25-30.
    And that is doing the expert roulette (which you need for alex maps) and trials for 8 ppl. I can't imagine how awful the hard/low lv roulette/guildhest roulette must be now...

    And yes, I think most the blame goes to hunts, why do a dungeon when you can get allied seals + myth + sold from hunts, specially if your LS is good at tracking spawn times.

    I only play as scholar, and I lately realize queue taking more time than before.

    I select 5 dungeon at the same time in Duty Finder, with the option "join party in progress". Generally 2 low level, where some healers abandon party, like Cutter Cry and Dzemael Darkhold.

    About Hunt, I only do the daily. Elite, only if appear in my front. I prefer dungeon. I think Hunt boring.

    By the way, I play some 12-14 hours a day. Although this week is hard I do dungeon because of lag/dc frequent here.

    To add to this, I just want to say that "queue" is actually a VERY easy word to spell if you just look at it. It's Q, and then UE and then UE again. Easy stuff.

    It's not like we dont have enough tanks and healers. According to a recent poll 48% of the players are tanks and healers, which means 52% are DPS. It's just that they got bullied so much that they dont seem to care about running dungeons with others anymore, and why should they if random DPS #573 is just going to shout at them because he/she felt the need to blame someone for standing in a instant-kill attack.
    I'm not sure how it was calculated, didn't look. But just because someone levels a tank or healer to 50 or logs out on one doesn't make it their main. There really is no way to calculate the amount of people that main certain jobs in a game that allows you to do everything. Its a far cry from WoW where they had specs even.

    I notice that OP is primarily a BRD, and ranged dps almost always get shafted in terms of queue times, even before Hunts were brought into the equation. I find that if I need to do Syrcus or dungeons I will often opt for my melee dps when queuing up. Even later in the evening the wait time as my DRG is drastically shorter than as my BRD.
