Q u o t e:
If there is a shortage of tanks on basically every server
and there is a shortage of healers on every server
and there is a surplus of DPS on basically every server to the point where you constantly see LF2M tank + healer in trade chat...

Why do people think a cross realm LFG system is going to solve anything at all in terms of making it quicker to get groups if you are a DPS, the same shortage of tanks is going to exist and the same shortage of healers is going to exist. Sure there are now 10x the tanks to choose from and 10x the healers to choose from, but there are also 10x the DPS to choose from meaning DPS is still going to spend the majority of their time in Dalaran waiting for a healer or tank.

Really the only people who might benefit are healers and tanks who will now have a much larger pool of DPS to draw from and can be more picky getting better geared DPS rather then just whoever happens to be sitting in the LFG channel.

For the reasons I posted in my previous posts it should improve things.

Also keep in mind that another issue players regularly experience is the "oh, I already ran that dungeon so I can't do it with you" situation. With the random heroic system as the "daily" dungeon, players can still help if they are able to assuming you aren't shooting for a specific dungeon - but lately the daily dungeon tends to be the most popular, especially if you will only do one dungeon that day.
