You can't practice to work against chance. Example: two BLM begin casting Fire on a group of ants, each targeting a separate target. Meanwhile, A melee is working to help DD them down. Now, both casts are cast at the same time, however, server lag dictates when the process actually begins. One nuke goes off, landing a critical hit on the other BLM target (by chance) and kills it. The other cast is then cancelled, resulting in one BLM having hate on the remaining ants that would have been killed by the opposing AOE - ultimately slowing the DPS of the entire group.

This is a function of UI/mechanics - not player ability or practice. Sorry if there was some confusion.
