From what I understand of it, the taunt from Archlight was several seconds late. The 20 sec mark passed, and 2 sec after that she put up bone armor, then 2 sec later she taunts. Obviously you can't parse vent into here, but I'm pretty sure Duvail called out for taunt 5 sec before his taunt ran out. If Archlight would have taunted, everything else would have been fine.
Secondary problem that wouldn't have been an issue normally:
Duvail didn't melee and had very low threat at the beginning. This doesn't really matter if Raz is always taunted, which he should be.
Tertiary problem that wouldn't have been an issue without both the first and second problems occuring:
Tyrani had highest aggro once taunt faded. He was standing pretty close and didn't iceblock. Again, if tanked properly, this should have never happened.
Even with all of these problems, it's somewhat debatable we could have done it. However, several people were above the DK's in threat, and his point that "if I would have iceblocked he would have one shot the guy next to me)" is pretty valid. Taunt is melee range only, so if he would have ran back to the ramp to hit the next person.. that person would drag Raz out of melee range of the understudy anyway.
It all stems down to the First problem. Secondary problem can be addressed later to prevent potential fuck ups later, Tertiary problems are very minute (i.e. standing too close to someone who's standing too close to someone in range of a chain cleave).
On a side note, we should have just done a taunt kiting rotation and not used priests at all imo. Warrior taunts Raz and runs away, 2nd warrior taunts raz from 20 yrds away and kites back, hunter taunts and kites, first warrior taunts and kites, etc ; )
