Anyway Ephi, with all due respect I don't think you are fully appreciating the negative impact of GM decisions. I realize that laws and judges are a lot more random than people think, but IMO you should look at every nontrivial GM decision on the raiding scene as a failure of the raid rules.
I think this is a fair point. I think a lesson here, if we pick up nothing else, is that perhaps CT should be modified as an encounter to somehow record who took the first DT, say if and only if, the raid that took the DT engages within 5 seconds. This could then prevent this exact situation.

Even with FTE shouts, CT is still a fight that once you're committed you will wipe if you pull back. You lose your kite, you've got a DT cycle, etc. Otherwise, you risk a rival guild sniping the 2nd DT as it happened here forcing the first to pull back almost inevitably wiping.
