Does canceling a queue and then re-queuing help at all?

From my experience, the way the queue system works is that once it sticks you into an instance, you're stuck there until it fills.

Example:

Instance 1 has no room for you. It sticks you into instance 2. A spot you would fit into opens up in instance 1 because someone left; too bad, you're in instance 2. A new person queues up and takes the spot in instance 1, which will fill up before instance 2 does. The new person had a better queue time as a result of this.

So, does requeueing help? Sometimes, yes, especially in the case of queueing for in-progress.

This is just how I believe it works based on my experience. I have nothing concrete with which to back it up. One of the main reasons I believe it works this way is from queueing for multiple things at once. Queue up for pvp and a primal at the same time. Once your party starts filling up for that primal, you can forget about being queued for pvp. You're stuck there until that primal party fills up.
