- Always the same two colors dive first and then the other? (E.g. red+blue first, yellow second)

- The dragons which appear first?

- ...

Thanks for helping me out.
Like you mentioned, there are three possible situations in which the dragons can appear. There will always be 2 set of dives, the first with 2 dragons and the second with one dragon. I'm not sure if the colors of the dragons diving are fixed, all I can say is that they do not matter. The rationale of divebomb placement is simple. Because the dragons will dive towards the marked player, you want to position the player in such a way that it covers the smallest area of the platform as possible, while at the same time getting the rest of the raid away from that player. So take for example when the first set of dragons diving are at 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock. You place the person with divebomb at roughly 4 o'clock so that when both dragons dive, they only cover the bottom right side of the arena, and keeping your raid safe.

Interestingly, the concept behind running up and down "the pit" in T5 also uses a similar concept.
