I fail to see anything wrong with removing variance and adding a raid mob shout that declares who was first to engage it. This will have nothing but positive impact on the raid scene and will actually add depth and complexity to the strategy aspect of hunting gods and dragons.
Casuals will have an opportunity to raid while hardcores will have an opportunity to level alts, auction in EC, and play with their cats because they are not on 24/7 batphone alert.
Best of all, it is absolutely Classic. All these complicated ideas for rules and mechanics are, to put it very frankly, completely retarded. There is no reason whatsoever to add such nonsense when we have a perfectly elegant and Classic solution right under our noses.
Remove variance and add a FTE shout to the raid mob being engaged. That's it!!
