Hm, on WHM I set Ally HP % < 1 and it was casting Raise when they died. It'd keep casting if they weren't there to accept the prompt, however. As far as using Swiftcast you could set it up with the same conditions as Raise and put Swiftcast in the Previous Ability field of Raise, then create another entry for Raise without it (at a lower priority). Correct me if I'm mistaken here, as I haven't tried it.
