Disclaimer: I played a cleric and was taking a step back from leading raids during late kunark until i got the itch again in velious, so I'm not the MOST qualified person to answer these, but I did do my fair share of VP.
I don't think wurm abilities were randomly assigned, because quite frankly SOE's encounter design was not that dynamic at this point. I seem to remember there only being 4 or 5 different types of wurms, and as soon as it was figured out which one we were on, we adjusted accordingly. Things hit hard or casted hard or made more of themselves, but I don't remember wurms that did all 3.
I definitely don't remember anything like

Can there be a guardian wurm spawn that hits for 1500 and cast dragon roar, sees through invis, and possibly casts wurm breath?

as that would be tougher than like half the actual dragons.

Can there be a guardian wurm that hits for 275 and doesn't cast at all, but sees invis, and is totally magic resistant?

This sounds like a reasonable combination. The see invis one were rare enough though that after a few days of crawling through we'd have big sections with no see invis things up.
Again, I know we have ex-FOH and LOS here who pioneered this stuff who will remember better than me, but those are my foggy memories.
