key to the ranger:

in a 6man group, you're less than impressive because you're essentially specializing and filling a gap at that point.

In a 3man group you are far, far more effective.

If 5 people are already there, most of your talents are going to be wasted/overridden by specialists.

In a 3 man group you'll be needed to snare, tank, spot heal between fights, dps.. pull.. crowd control.. damage shield. harmony split pulls, SOW, invis.. Track... whatever..

A ranger really shines in smaller bands of adventurers, even more so in outdoor zones/dungeons. But if your group has 5 people already, adding a ranger is never, ever going to be the desired choice, unless you're after the person behind the avatar you know to be a good player.

Which is why most people will tell you to create your own groups instead of running around LFG trying to 'be the 6th'.. You aren't the 6th.. You're the 3rd or 4th.
