I queued many times as my main for lfr to farm sha crystals from loot and coins, best advice from me: queue as healer or tank, it will speed up your queue.
Second advice, you can queue for bgs or skirmishes,it won't cancel your queue for lfr, u can kill time this way.
Which LFR are you queuing for? HoF?
ToT and SoO are ~15-30mins queue for dps on a busy pvp server, unless you're playing Saturday evening or something.
It seems most LFR raiders have graduated to trying to run "Normal" (old Flex) in the new LFG system. Coincidentally, Normal is now the most difficult raid setting as literally only the worst of the worst is doing it.
Definitely a bug, even if you're queued as DPS, it shouldn't take more than 40m, max.

Not worth the tanks/healers time anymore, IMO. Too much stupid to deal with for soon-to-be-obsolete gear.
Before people were also doing it to collect the items for their Legendary cloak quest. Since it's removed for new players, there is not many who still need the sigils from MV/HOF/TOES. So the LFR starts at the people who need the tokens from ToT.
