Seeing as how you probably are sending your pet in immediately after casting Cascading Darkness anyway, the only real difference is the order of operations. Now you first send in your pet and then cast your snare. The difference is really insignificant. It seems a pretty obvious solution to me.

I've been sending in my pet as soon as I'm in range that he will respond the attack command, and then starting cascading, and I end up either 1) losing the NPC because someone hits it with a quick nuke before my pet gets there (pet is always lagging a bit behind since he has no jboot/sow/whatever), or 2) someone else ends up nuking it but then cascading finishes cast and I get aggro, and the other person gets upset that I "stole" their pull.
Here's the kicker though. Someone else and I had words over the #2 situation last night because she was mad that I wasn't following the standard practice of pulling everything I possibly can with a level 1 spell. I "stole" two of her seafuries because cascading landed after she tried to pull with a level 1 nuke.
But yeah, I would have gotten the seafury either way. The only way cascading, a 7-second cast, could possibly go off on a target that someone else has nuked and is started to pull towards away to their pet on the shoreline, is if I started casting cascading like 3-4 seconds before the other person started casting their 1.5-second nuke. So whether I use cascading or a level 1 nuke, I'm going to get that seafury. But because I use cascading, I get bitched at.
Also, what is the OFFICIAL policy on "camping" individual spawns of seafuries/HGs/etc? The stickied post in the library defining camps seems to say that you can claim to be camping specific spawn(s) of these pathing NPCs by parking your character within aggro range of the creature's spawn point and being able to immediately engage it. But a "zone poll" of oot last night revealed that no one follows that policy, and instead just pulls whatever the hell they feel like because that's how they feel like doing it.
Even had someone try to level1nukepull a seafury off of my pet last night when I was doing just that, sitting right on the spawn waiting for the pop. Fucking lame.
