I do agree, however, that your proposal for a GROUP_KILL event makes sense.
It is trivial to determina if something is tapped with UnitIsTappedByPlayer(unit).

The problem is that you need a valid unit for that.

As a healer, I rarely have mobs targeted, and would have to rely on party/raid*target for checking.
But no unit name would provide a 100% reliable way to check if a certain mob GUID has been tapped by the player or their group. It assumes that the mob has been targeted at some point during its lifetime, that's not always true in the case of AoE.
