As far as #1, the rules seem pretty clear:

If you root in mid-swarm, if you don't get the killing blow once his swarm catches up to him, he'll lose XP...
Very true, but the word 'intentionally' is in there. In this hypothetical scenario, I just want him to die, and couldn't care less if he loses xp or not outside of trying to protect myself from a rules violation. Heck I'd even rez him if he called LnS.

To another player's point, most pvp probably takes place during some form of pve, so there's probably a grey area in many cases where you aren't trying to cause xp loss, you're just trying to capitalize on an advantage while you have it. But I suppose it's best to err on the side of caution and just let him finish his swarm and then attack immediately. Or at the very least, let the mobs begin to flee from low health since now he's very unlikely to lose XP.

Thank you to those who provided me some insight in this thread. Sounds like I need to make a reasonable effort to make sure I get a clean kill, and if I get suspended well them's the breaks.
