if there's only one big bad boss, the latter won't happen, so that only leaves other people to help. that may just be me, but if i'm doing some hard-like-hell-ish elite DE and someone keep dying next to me, i will just stop helping him if that puts me in a difficult position (ie in an aoe or with boss/minions hiting me).
thus, they'll probably just end up unconscious and forced to rez at a distant waypoint.
and even if they make it back to the DE when the big-bad-boss dies, their contribution might be so little they'll probably just end up with at most bronze level reward which i expect will have much less prestige than those who'll have been awarded gold level.
