I think the old +20% for damage leader formula sucks. It's not just to prevent leech; it makes your kills count for something and makes you not have to worry as much about how fast your party members are killing.
A better solution to the boss exp problem would be to severely reduce the exp that bosses give, and make the bulk of the exp come from an NPC as you leave the boss room. Maybe make Zakum's arms only give 250k exp each, the 3rd body give 1m, and the NPC reward everyone with 2.5m exp (maybe scaled up or down depending on your level relative to Zakum and maybe the size of the squad) after you beat it. This would discourage things like "arm runs," too.
