Prince Insta-Gib theory

Okay, I'm going to propose more than a few things here at once that you'll all argue with.

So, we all know our tanks randomly get insta-gibbed on prince. If you REALLY watch a fraps, you can track that there are usually only four people enfeebled after the tank goes down. I have personally never experienced any time except immediately during the phase 1 > phase 2 transition.

I've also seen tanks mysteriously never get enfeebled when someone accidentally pulls over their top aggro (Of course, KTM/Omen aren't 100% accurate).

If anyone has any videos to help disprove this, please link them and I will stop what I am about to say.

Here's my theory: Somewhere, blizzard ninja-altered Enfeeble. Rather than avoiding the top aggro target, it avoids prince's target. During the p1 > p2 transition, prince temporarily untargets the tank. When this happens, the tank is now, for a short time, a valid target for enfeeble.

Thus, if you have an enfeeble timed to be cast during the p1 to p2 transition, you have a 50% chance that your tank will be one of the people who gets enfeebled. The server side HP reduction happens before the actual debuff appears on you that reduces healing done, and if prince lands an attack immediately, it can occur before the enfeeble shows in the combat log (Which isn't far fetched to happen given his attack speed during p2).

Prove me wrong please.

Thoughts?
