I haven’t been able to do the raids yet, but I’m aware that toughness is the stat that determines aggro for the boss. What I thought up earlier today is: What if two people hypothetically had the same toughness stat? Has anyone tested this? Does the boss just pick one and stick with him or her? Does he randomly switch or go for whoever is closest?

As far as i know, aggro rules are not as fixed in gw2 as in other games, different mobs follow different rules.

For some mobs (i.e. vale guardian) toughness is more important than other factors (damage done, buffs given, distance, healing done and probably many more). If toughness is identical the other factors will decide if and when the boss switches its target. This will look like random switches (and it could actually be random) but that is mostly because we do not know what affects the agro.
