As far as I tried a pdc/bdc with ladp backend (Master/Slave). I always need to point from both pdc and bdc to one wins. So my pdc is exactly the wins and the bdc points to wins server=pdc. So if the pdc fails there is no wins anymore. And in my case more than half of the users could not authenticate anymore. So I never succeeded to have a 100% failover. If this have changed I would be happy to know.

It would mean to restart nmbd, but in a typical clustered file server nmbd is a bit difficult to set up anyway. Most clusters I've set up so far don't have nmbd at all. So I'd recommend to split the DC roles and the HA-fileserver cluster using ctdb. You don't need the complexity of ctdb for your DCs anyway, PDC/BDC is highly available implicitly.
