Trip, there was only one opinion in your post, regarding Panlong and the "indications" that it may go on an eleven-year hiatus. Those indications are based on the dragon's true time frame, and don't take into account the possibility of Panlong being "brought back". They indicate when the dragon definitely will be available, but don't rule out Panlong being available at other times due to decisions by Backflip.

The Bring 'em Back event could also be considered an indication, and the money it made is an even stronger indication. They both imply that a limited dragon's time frame is open to revision, and this could affect the overall rarity of the dragon.

...I must also point out the impact of Apocalypse's low gem cost, allowing people to buy them with the gems they'd saved up. I bought both of mine, and the ability to do so would have made the dragon a lot easier to obtain.
