You are all looking at the situation and making it more complicated though.

How about instead of having a 3 day mob with +/- 48 hours so it will randomly go around random times you have a mob with a 2 day, 23 hour spawn, so it works it's way around the clock every other month?

Classic tracking of a mob isn't about having someone paid DKP to sit in a zone all day every day. Classic tracking of a mob involves a spreadsheet and a note on your raid calander to show up if you don't have other plans that day/hour. If it's a mob of extreme importance then you show up early and sit in force like they did back in the day.
