At margins that small, a single crit on your end or a miss on his/her end would be more than enough for you to pull ahead. Since the level difference at that point is more than enough for there to be a not-insubstantial chance to miss, I'm more than willing to bet it was the RNG that made you pull ahead.
It was a small margin which is why I decided to try. I was very close, but gradually going down (losing about a single sliver on the enmity bar every 2-3 rotations. After I took the boss though, she didn't go back. I was losing ground, slowly, to the tank in shield oath, and then I was gaining in sword oath. It wasn't rng or a fluke unless it was 30-50 seconds worth of flukes after I took the boss.

It's easier to judge in this situation, because when you are in a situation where you are already ahead, seeing the difference between ahead and more ahead is difficult, and seeing the difference of behind and less (or more) behind is also difficult.
