With Elidibus, I keep going back to his interactions with the WoD. All he'd have had to do to come off as a truth-teller in that indecent was tell the WoD to go talk to Hydaelyn and see if she could help prevent the Flood of Light. Yeah, figuring out how to talk to Hydaelyn isn't easy (or is it for Warriors of Light?) but he would have been able to pull of an "I told you so" once Hydaelyn agreed to absorb the excess Light from the 1st Shard. It would have done a lot to boost his "I am acting for the balance" stance since the 1st Shard would have had less light after everything happened and would have been in balance. Instead he goes and tells them that the only way to bring balance is to increase the amount of Darkness, not on the 1st Shard, but throughout all the Shards. Which means decreasing our influence. So it seems he passes up an opportunity for balance to create discord among the forces of light.

The other thing I find interesting about the WoD situation, is that for there to be "less Light" on the First Shard, there doesn't have to be "increased Darkness". It's not like the Ascians or Zodiark have to do things to balance the shard out. Instead, Hydaelyn has to remove Light from it. Even if the Source has "too much Light" (and I do not think that is the case), that doesn't mean we have to necessarily being doing anything different. What it does mean is the Hydaelyn has to be absorbing excess light from the Source. Only, she's been getting weaker and weaker over the Eras. According to Lahabrea, the Ascians have been the ones behind that...
