They are only unlikely because people/players refuse to behave civilly towards one another. It's an "I want my pixels NAOW" mentality. There will, and have been, times when every guild was fairly beaten to a mob/zone, and the other guild leapfrogged them. Nilbog said its a dick move, but since it is still within the server rules, its allowed to happen. The only thing unreasonable about a more civil raid environment is the parties involved, all of us, refuse to act as such.
And Geigue does not champion the idea of "zero variance". He champions the idea of "all 7-day mobs on the same variance, so they all pop at the same time". He, and others, realize that variance in some capacity is a necessary evil to this top-heavy server, but by forcing competing forces to pick their targets, instead of having them pop one at a time, will allow different guilds to mobilize for different targets. At least that's how I understand the "simulated patch day" (hereafter SPD) pop philosophy, please correct me if I'm wrong Giegue. He also admits that a large portion of the mobs would still go to the top tier guild(s), but by focusing on a single target, or a few select targets, the smaller guild(s) could kill their focused targets while the top guild(s) focus theirs and cannot divert resources to the other targets.
Going over your list again:

I've already agreed that a simulated patch day would help.
That doesn't address the overall P99 raiding scene. It only allows the causal guilds a means to possibly snag a target in the chaos.
You are referring to 2 different situations. Unless you want all raid targets to spawn at the same time once a week, thus changing the entire way they spawn currently.
