Case #1:

A: Wait (overwatch the corner, shoot as soon as someone will present himself).
B: Do nothing.
C: Wait (when B will Dodge and Drop, Step around the corner and shoot anyone standing in sight).
D: Wait (when B will Dodge and Drop, Step around the corner and shoot anyone standing in sight).
E: Wait (when B will Dodge and Drop, Step around the corner and shoot anyone standing in sight).

A: Wait (overwatch the corner, shoot as soon as someone will present himself).
B: All-out Defense, go around the corner.

When A attacks B (Wait triggered), latter uses Dodge and Drop. C, D and E step around the corner and shoot A. Action continues:

C: Attack (shoot A).
D: Attack (shoot A).
E: Attack (shoot A).

Effectively C, D and E attack twice in a row: for Wait being triggered and then as a regular maneuver. Right?
Correct. All the attacks were triggered by B. After all those attacks are resolved, C, then D, then E choose new manuevers for their new turns.

E: wishes to abuse the rules and make B, C and D attack twice in a row as in case #1. Is it possible?
No, it isn't possible. The attacks are triggered by E; that is when A, B, C, and D's waits are triggered. Affer those attacks are resolved, A chooses a new maneuver as it's now his turn again.
