Previous Warden theory

That has been a theory, but I'm under the impression that Jim knocked it down.... However I could be wrong about that.

He knocked down that being a previous Warden was the reason for the grudge (which was stated to be because "[rashid] focused the tank"). I dont know that he ever formally shot down the possibility that Rashid was not a former Warden under more general context.
I personally think it highly unlikely for two reasons: 1) we know Rashid has been around at least long enough to have known the original merlin (by best the bracket of time we've narrowed The Original Merlin's time to, anyway) and 2) we know by WOJ the last Gatekeeper was Alighiero di Bellincione whose son is famous for writing Dante's Inferno. Given those two things it just seems unlikely that he would have been tapped for /both/ of those very critical roles, or that he would have set aside one for the other or anything that would explain the shft.
Rasins:
My personal theory is that Kemmler was the previous WARDEN.
When the Council was taking Kemmler down, one of the times, probably the last one, is when Rashid "Focused the Tank" and pissed DR off, by distracting DR from protecting his WARDEN.
Absent any other evidence, I'm sticking with that one.

I like that theory except for one minor issue. If Kemmler had access to a prison fill of dangerous creatures, why didn't he release some during the attack to divide/hurt the WC? I can think up some explanations:1) since we do not know the particulars of that battle anything could have happened including the release of inmates, 2) Kemmler was somehow prevented from releasing inmates, 3) The process of releasing inmates was too involved so Kemmler couldn't do it during a battle, or 4) Kemmler actually had some standards and recognized the folly of releasing inmates (unlikely). Any of these explanations are possible, but they don't really satisfy me. I believe that if Kemmler had access to DR he would make use of it to further his own thirst for power.

Focusing the Tank is something that is bad to your team, not the Tank's team. The tank is there to be focused upon. GK focusing the tank would not be what draws DR's ire so much as just being on the other side.
