5 minute average queue time.

It literally becomes an hour.

Make tanks easier and more rewarding to play. To wait this long to advance the MSQ, this is ridiculous.

The problem with tanks is not really the ease of play or the rewards.
It is the other players.

Plenty of people are willing to tank for friends or with their FC. Far fewer are willing to tank for randoms.
Any mistakes a tank makes will be far more visible than mistakes made by dps - and too many people will be nasty when those mistakes happen. Not everyone of course, but too many.
Same applies to healers, though to a lesser degree.

Exactly this! I made a thread a few years ago about it and still believe it now: There is no shortage of tanks in this game, really, rather there's a shortage of tanks willing to do a DF pug group. Myself and many of my tank friends will only ever tank for FC or friends because of the way PUGs can sometimes be in DF. Not all, and probably not even that many, but the few toxic people who berate tanks for either going too fast, going too slow, etc. just isn't worth it.
