As far as switching back and forth... 1 week lockout... and to rejoin have to Sacrifice an unrezzed death for every member of your former team you killed ( had agro on when they died) in the past 30 days, plus some plat based on level... At minimum 1 unrezzed Sacrifice. so you may have to stop killing your former team for a month prior to rejoining....

Look at all the hoops you have to jump through to make this even halfway workable.

That's how you know it's a bad idea.

The best rulesets are the most simple. Hard-coded teams based on race or deity. Deity ends up being preferable due to class distributions between races (i.e. no short team Monks, Bards, Shamans, etc...).

I mean that last part of your post that I bolded? Come on, that's just ridiculous. Overcomplicate things much? There's just no need for something like that when there is a much simpler solution that's already been tested.
