If you make cues to set channels to 100%, how you you get them off? 
You must also create cues to do that else you can't fade to black 
(see below.

Create a cue which sets the channel to 0%

Make cues for group 1, 2 and blackout (say 201.1 ON; .2 =off ,, 
202.1=on; .2=off, 200.1=all off)

 -- cue 1
 show 200.1 fo rever
 -- cue 2
 show 201.1 for ever, crossfading for 3s
 -- cue3
 show 201.2 for 0.05s, crossfading for 3s
 show 202.1 for ever, crossfading for 3s
 -- cue 4
 show 201.1 for 0.05s, crossfading for 3s
 show 202.1 for ever, crossfading for3s

Cue 3 fades out group 1 in 3s, but starts after 0.05s also fading in 
3s scene 202.1. The same for combining group 1+2
