I'd worry more about fixing the DC issues instead of changing the system to work around them.

I definitely agree on the party spot taken by a member that DCs should be reserved for that person if they DC, and after a span of time (maybe 10 minutes?) the game auto-kicks them if the party leader already has not. Leadership would get auto-passed to the next member in the party if the leader DCs.
i mention the swapping from dol/dol once to a battle class because there has been times mobs will spawn on your group while trying to repair one of the party members weapons before the battle via talking to others on skype/vent and a person not in the call would run to claim the mob. that person would be just stuck not being able to join in battle because they were helping another member. then you would lose 2 of your party from the fight because one switched off their weapon to get it repaired and the other had to switch to fix that weapon. i just don't see why a one time switch only if that person is non battle/magic class when the mob is engaged would hurt anyone.
