You don't need to remain on a wit spot to continue owning it. Once its turned your team color it is yours until an opponent lands on it whether occupied or not.

To be honest the first tip isn't a very good tip; the maths behind it shows you will be worst off. It costs 4 wits to predict your opponents attack, yet they could have attack for 3 wits before with you countering with 2 wits +3 wits for a medic, so a cost of 2 wits. Not only do you lose less wits from doing nothing, but your opponent will come up with another strategy rather than targetting the medic.

I completely agree with you about the first tip myself, Necrocat219 (hence the caveat in parentheses that follows it). I decided to mention it in the spirit of throughness as I did not see it mentioned at all elsewhere though.
