The issue is class balance.
The game is drowning in DPS - you'll neve rhave any trouble getting into any group as a half decent tank or healer (the PUGs who are opening up the Arcway and Court of Stars are all desperate for healers, for example, whilst there's a massive oversupply of dps)
So naturally, such groups are able to pick and choose what classes they take because they want the highest performing and most able classes. At this point the game is severely unbalanced for classes. As a mage you'll get an invite. As a warlock of any spec or a shadow priest you just won't.
The first check any group will apply is "what class? Oh, Warlock, forget it. Take one of the three mages applying". Outsid eof world quests sign up as a warlock, it's all decline, decline, decline, no matter you ilevel
The LFG tool overcomes this by automatching roles, so all dps classes are treated as being equal. Everyone knows they aren't, there are right now some classes in the trash can and some who are mini-gods. This may change in a tuning pass, but I'm willing to bet they won;t dare nerf demon hunters. Or fire mages either "but I spent all my artifact power on it wah"
