I think they really need to change it so we can be in queue while in missions. The queue mechanism works in other games because so much of those games is spent out in the world, collecting 1 of 20 rat tails and so forth.
Of course, now that I say that I realize that the "solution" from the devs will be to add many more such collection missions into the game.
Stupid Praetorian flower-collecting mission.

Brainstorming, I thought of one thing: redside you can go grind in the fab while you wait. Well, that's one. Hopefully you guys can think of more.

I'd rather think of fixing the limitations with the LFG system. We're not a week in yet, and players are already figuring out (in mass) that there are better ways of doing the trials than using that system.

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
Work on defeat badges.
Farm the wall in Cim.
Dance like no one's watching.
Form/join a pre-formed so you don't ahve to wait 
.
PVP
queue out before you're defeated

All this week I have found on Freedom that is takes less than 5 minutes. Maybe it is the time of day I play, but it has been very quick so far. Of course none of those pugs teams were successful, so take that as you will.
pwn the market
/agree to letting you run instanced missions while qued up. My guess it it's an issue with timed missions, which would be harder to flag the lfg system to ignore some missions and not others. Any other mission I'd be fine with getting ported out of, I'll just restart it later. That said, they could just toss in the caveat that you shouldn't attempt timed missions while qued, and problem solved.
What I would love to see is an option for ALL taskforce/ trials added to the lfg que. There's still some old Freedom Phalanx TF's I never did and there's seldom interest in them, so barring me setting it up ahead of time on the forum, I'd have to hang around lowbie zones spamming for group members to do a not-very-popular mission. No desire to do that.
It would be kinda funny and sad to see half a Hami or MS raid disappear when the queue's start filling up and people suddenly zone out to a trial.

It's the best way to form/join teams for TFs/SFs/MS/etc. Still be nice to add it to the LFG window, but there's far, far, FAR better options than trying to use broadcast!
