Just as a way to prevent FTE sniping from taking place.
The FTE shout itself prevents FTE sniping by giving real-time information to the raid leaders as to whether continue engage or not, unlike now where no one can really tell who had FTE, so you send in your raid anyway because you can't afford to hesitate, then require the GMs to sort it out later.

Current state:

Chest tells the guild, 'Get ready to engage Trak! Why aren't you guys buffed yet?'
Yendor tells the guild, 'rez pls'
Anthrax tells the guild, 'What do you mean none of our fking tanks have a mallet?'
Sadad tells the guild, 'TMO only has 4 in zone, but they've started logging in... we need to engage now.'
Chest tells the guild, 'CHARGE!'

... hours later ...

Ambrotos says, 'Upon review of the encounter logs, Xanthias from TMO got first engage... I will be transferring the two Donal's and 4 teeth to them.'
Yendor says, 'WTF they only had 4 in zone!'
Chest says, 'Shut up Yendor, you were at your bind point, you weren't even there.'

With the FTE shout:

Chest tells the guild, 'Get ready to engage Trak! Why aren't you guys buffed yet?'
Yendor tells the guild, 'rez pls'
Anthrax tells the guild, 'What do you mean none of our fking tanks have a mallet?'
Sadad tells the guild, 'TMO only has 4 in zone, but they've started logging in... we need to engage now.'
Chest tells the guild, 'CHARGE!'
Yendor tells the guild, 'rez pls'
Trakanon shouts, 'XANTHIAS OF THE MYSTICAL ORDER HAS CHALLENGED ME!'
Chest tells the guild, 'Fall back, we don't have FTE... how many TMO in zone?'
Anthrax tells the guild, 'Just 6'
Chest tells the guild, 'Okay, letting their puller die... tag it when it goes back into seek mode.'
Yendor tells the guild, 'rez meeee'
Trakanon shouts, 'MY FOES HAVE BEEN DEFEATED... I EAGERLY AWAIT NEW OPPONENTS!'
Trakanon shouts, 'CHEST OF BREGAN D'AERTH HAS CHALLENGED ME!'
Chest tells the guild, 'ENGAGE!'

Much more clear... no more needing GMs to resolve stuff after the fact.
