If everyone quickly dots it up and switches back to the boss it can die even before the boss goes down depending on when you got it in the first place. I'm also speaking of 25 man here since I don't do 10 very much. Focused raid dps is wasting a lot of time for only 1 member in 25. Unless that person is absolutely vital having them fend for them self for a minute isn't such a bad thing.
Yeah, not a hunter. Shadow priest. With a snobold on me, I can cast shadow word: pain and devouring plague. And I can use my wand, yay! This cuts my DPS to about 1/4 of normal. With half the raid being tanks and healers, having one DPSer basically out of it means you lose 20% of your dps (for sake of argument - not all DPSers are equal).
I can see the argument for leaving one on a melee DPS or a hunter, where the effect isn't as big (and dots plus incidental AOE will probably kill it anyway) or in a 25 (smaller % impact on the raid), but losing a caster DPS in 10 isn't going to work.
