I've seen it save the run several times. Even if the other two alliances wipe, the boss is usually only a few percent from dead anyway. I've run WoD probably two dozen times in the last week alone in various roles (gearing BLM and MNK up a bit, it's filler till I can get Dreadwyrm/Ironworks) and I've seen 2 or 3 saves in just that time.

You should be able to keep a few DPS on the boss without adds getting through. If that's not true, there's already something wrong. If *no one* is staying on the boss and adds are still getting through, you don't deserve to win, sorry. >_>
When I go in as monk, I stay on the boss. If any clouds get close, I destroy them. :3
