When it comes to mobs casting dispel spells, I don't think buff order means anything anymore, unless it's (dragon) aoes with a dispel component that always nuke the top buff.

It 100% matters when it comes to regular spells too.
As far as OP, the Felwithe guards are Paladin's so they are definitely casting regular Cancel Magic, Nullify Magic is a level 58 spell for Pally's.
Here's the best description that I've seen on P99's dispel system

Most of basics are this. Not totally, but this is general idea.
Say buff 1 has 3 effects, we assign it 3 counters with a strength of 3.
Buff 2 has 4 effects, 4 counters, strenth 4
Buff 3 has 1 effect, 1 strength.
If u have those 3 buffs in order, and cast cancel magic.
It checks buff 1, do say a rand 100, it has 3 str, so if ran less than 33, kills buff and done
If it fails its check counter -1. If counter at 0, dump buff, done.
If no buff dumped, move to buff 2. If ran 100 < 100/4, dump buff, else counter--
If no buff dumped, go to buff 3. It has 1 counter, so if we passed all the other checks to get her, we kill the buff. It looks like cancel magic takes out buff 3. Wow, looks random. But its not.
Thats basic idea. A buff can have up to 8 counters. So you could take 8 cancel magics to dump.
If you have a dispell(9). It does 9 iterations on each buff. But stops after kills a buff, for that slot of dispell(9).
2 dispell 9 buffs always take top 2 slots, unless its a buff that cant be dispelled. Think rez effects.
You could have a cancel magic cast once lower all counters of all buffs by 1, but if all passed their check, and none hit zero counters, none disappear.
And it can make it look like buffs get removed at random.
Thats the basics.

buff yourself then cast cancel magic on yourself 10 times rebuffing whatever gets dispelled after each time. I bet you take out one of the top 2 or 3 slots at least 7 times out of 10 if not 9 times out of 10. I did that like a month ago and these were the results.

I cast 4 low level (under lvl 20) buffs on myself, and then cast Cancel magic on myself 10 times, recasting whatever buff got dispelled after each Cancel Magic. Slot 3 or 4 never got dispelled.
1 - Slot 2
2- Slot 1
3 - None
4 - Slot 2
5 - Slot 1
6 - Slot 2
7 - Slot 1
8 - Slot 1
9 - Slot 1
10 - Slot 2
