So at this point wouldn't it be easier to compile a list of DC writers and staff who haven't jumped ship?

In his case, I'm guessing Forever Evil is taking more time and attention than he anticipated. As it is, he's already left JLA after only 7 issues and handed the reins to backup writer Matt Kindt. He also probably has a close involvement in Arrow's impending Flash spin-off (Johns loves the Scarlet Speedster).

I am encouraged, though, by the exit interview, that the repercussions of his finale will play into Justice League next year and serve as a follow-up of sorts to the "Throne of Atlantis" crossover.

And, of course, the Black Manta subplot continues into Forever Evil.

This seems like something that was planned (Along with the Flash team apparently moving on). As for replacements, Jeff Parker is actually a damn good writer.

As long as they, you know, let him write.

Yeah. And between this volume, the crossover issues with Justice League, and Blackest Night and Brightest Day, he's got 4 years of Aquaman stories under his belt.

Preview's up for his finale and it certainty looks like Johns is going out with a bang.

There's are also an additional excerpt on Variety.com which seems to hint at that plot thread Johns has said is going to be picked up over in Justice League next year.

The fate of the 4 other ancient kingdoms of the Seven Seas.
