Ulduar Raid-Specific Fixes and Adjustments

- Fixed an issue preventing players from swapping to 10-player mode of the raid leader had an active 25-player raid ID lock.
Flame Leviathan
- Fixed an issue causing Flame Leviathan to take too long to spawn after the final Ulduar Colossus is killed.
XT-002 Deconstructor
- The Health of XT-002 Deconstructor has been reduced on Hard Mode in both 10 and 25-player versions.
Developer’s Notes: The version of the fight we had present on PTR was the very first version of XT-002 Deconstructor that was live for a very short time in 2009. This version was never defeated, and with good reason; it had an unfeasibly large health pool and players couldn’t hope to beat the enrage even with perfect gear and play at that time. We considered a lot of changes and ultimately decided to reduce the overall health to make it more in-line with this boss’s place within Ulduar as the 2nd required boss. The real-prenerf version of this boss will continue to be relegated to legend, just like a certain Old God residing in his winter vacation home in southern Kalimdor was.
Fixed an issue causing XT-002 Deconstructor to not case Searing Light and Gravity bomb in 10-player mode.
Resolved an issue causing the 25-player version of Heartbreak to apply to the 10-player version of the boss when the hard mode is engaged.
