    That would be true assuming an equal distribution of tanks moving to queue as healers AND DPS. The current queue situation has <30 second waits for DPS and upwards of 15 minute waits for healers. I've been testing this off and on since 3.2 since I noticed the stark change

    10-15 minute wait for Expert Roulette
    5-7 minute wait for Trial Roulette
    1-2 minute wait for Mentor Roulette
    4-5 minute wait for High Level Roulette
    8-10 minute wait for Anti-tower
    10-15 minute wait for Lost City of Amdapor (Hard)
    8-12 minute wait for Void Ark

    0-3 second wait for Expert Roulette
    1-2 minute wait for Trial Roulette
    1-2 minute wait for Mentor Roulette
    3-5 minute wait for High Level Roulette
    9-10 second wait for Anti-tower
    1-3 minute wait for Lost City of Amdapor (Hard)
    2-3 minute wait for Void Ark

    25-30 second wait for Expert Roulette
    3-4 minute wait for Trial Roulette
    10-12 minute wait for Mentor Roulette
    4-5 minute wait for High Level Roulette
    50-60 second wait for Anti-tower
    1-3 minute wait for Lost City of Amdapor (Hard)
    13-16 minute wait for Void Ark

    Assuming a tank exodus, this would only happen if every single tank is queuing as a healer instead, which is highly unlikely. A more reasonable explanation is a change in the sorting algorithm; one that bumped healers down the list to have the lowest priority when being matched. It's a good time to play a DPS.
