Note that the Witch-King Gandalf problem does not start up by the citadel, but much sooner. Gandalf's doubts about Frodo and the war (when he had to lean on both Aragorn and Saruman respectively in RotK) showed that he was failing well before he loses his staff. In the Seq08 post of the RotK SbS, I'll note another scene where Gandalf is shown to be losing hope, and now that I'm seeing it in detail, this is even worse than being destaffed.
