Getting Darting Hatchling and Ravasaur Hatchling

Of the four Raptor guys found in nests, Darting Hatchling and Ravasaur Hatchling post the greatest threat to F2P players trying to farm them. Leaping Hatchling, found in the Barrens, is actually really easy to get, while Razormaw Hatchling is only marginally more difficult. I had a few questions about the harder two nests.
First off, can you see these when you are dead? Also, another question I keep finding myself coming back to is - If the rare spawns are present, does that mean their nest is, too? Thanks for your input, guys.
 
You can see the nests when you are dead, if you are in range of them.

I never saw the rare spawns around the nests when I looted them.

For the Dustwallow nest, I had to use a Target Dummy right after I rezzed so I could loot the nest (before dying again).

The Un'Goro nest was just far enough from the raptors that I could loot it before they got to me.

The common theory is that when the servers reset the rare spawn and nest spawn timers do also, so they start out spawning at the same time.
But many people kill the rare for their loot and do not notice a nest on the ground, as there are many nests on the ground around where the nests spawn (All of them aren't activateable so they don't try to activate the one you actually can.) So the spawn timers start to get strewed, but yes, *typically* the rares are present when the nest is, but not always.
 
Interesting, thank you. Does an AGM prevent you from being interrupted while gathering a nest?

I don't think you can loot anything while you have protective bubble from AGM (this is a wild guess since I don't have AGM but I doubt blizz would allow looting while you have bubble)
 
You can loot with AGM bubble, or priest bubble, but not immunities like HoP or divine shield. As for AGM preventing you from being interupted, I'm leaning towards not, but haven't confirmed. AGM bubble is pretty weak, so anything that couldn't do ~1k in ~3 seconds on the loot cast I could kill solo anyway. Just get help, much easier, even if it's just another cannon fodder 20 to keep them off you for a few moments. Then return the favor when they want to get them.
