    Lineage is correct, most of the people making the DPS queues are too long threads are wanting DPS queues reduced. This won't significantly affect DPS queues as the players that play purely DPS are extremely likely to... keep playing DPS exclusively even with this QoL update. This is only likely to affect the existing tank and healer playerbase as usually if you're tanking and healing, you're far more likely to be willing to fill in a role since these 2 roles are more in demand. Given the huge discrepency in queue times most of the DPS players willing to fill in for other roles will have already swapped to a healer or tank to do just that. Here's proof from the OP:

    Now, it's possible the quicker queues from the filler-inners filling in any role will have some positive impact on DPS queues because of this, as a knock-on effect to the filler-inners filling more groups faster, but it won't revolutionise DPS queues and make them as quick as healer and tank (or if this is implemented, also filler-inner) queues

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.
