you answered your own question. WD matches players based on the teams' average rating, meaning you will have to shuffle players around and people might have to play roles they don't want to play just to get an instant queue. if you are all around the same rank, in theory it should be a quick queue, however if for instance another party or other players of similar rank are also queueing, you may not even get your friend's team on top of that DF may make you wait 10+minutes.

the best thing to do is get everyone's ranks and then form your groups based on that, then queue in another language other than English so pugs can't infect your queue. you may or may not get an instant queue, if not then shuffle around players again until you do, however that may lead to players not being able to play the roles they want to play just to get an instant pop. try to match your teams based on the average party rank but it still may make you wait 5-10 minutes if you can't.
