Potential bug?

I think it's more that the time estimate is based on the longest a player of that role has been waiting in queue. For DPS in Alliance raids, there can be a lot waiting, so the system expects all DPS to wait about the same amount of time, even though once there's enough, they all get through at once.

Yeah, that too. Whether it's based on longest or average wait, the earliest people in the queue could have been waiting for ages, but you're DPS #14 and another person joins two minutes later.

It's also why you'll get "less than five minutes" estimates on queues (like specific dungeons) that are actually completely dead and you're the only person waiting... so it feeds your own wait time back to you as the average.
