Shall I DPS or tank in LFR?

I have a warrior with tanking gear ilvl 375 and dps gear ilvl 379. I've leveled and geared mostly as tank, due to shorter queues, but I like both roles equally. I'd say I'm more confident as tank, due to more practice. Anyway, I played this game on and off and I'm about to go to Cata raids for the first time - I just want to see the content. Yet, I'm not sure if I should go as a tank or dps. How long are the LFR queues for dps compared to tank? Is it MUCH more harder to tank raids than it is 5man HCs?
The main reason for me to ask is the fact that I have to decide where to spend valor points. Unlike justice points, which I had in abundance for both tank and dps gear, I can't get valor gear for both dps and tank, so I need to decide what role to play in raids.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I would expect shorter queues and better loot chance as a tank, and no responsibility but also not much to expect to gain as DPS :) I think the best way is to get in LFR with this low ilvl gear as DPS, get the feel of it and then probably switch to tanking and gearing as tank.
Thanks again,
best regards,

Tank if you want gear and a shorter queue.
DPS if you just want the valor or are too drunk to give a damn.

I pray to god you wont sign up as a tank to take any DPS gear you find. If you do, I hope you get a horrible group that wont even get past the first trash group.
Or that everyone else ninja's your tanking items. Or kicks you.
