I've been hunting for a Horde-side raiding guild to tank with for a while now, but I've had a hard time finding one because it seems like 85-90% of them only use Loot Council, which is something I strongly distrust due to bad experiences with it in multiple guilds on Live. Too much nepotism/favoritism that was actually well documented, too much complaining about suspected favoritism that wasn't there. Just too much drama with the system in general.
So I'd like to know what established guilds use DKP/EPGP or something other than Loot Council for deciding who gets what in a raid, something I know I can reasonably trust that isn't so easily corrupted by biaas.

What guilds on Lordaeron are known for using /roll, DKP or EPGP for loot?

I'm with you there, but on the Alliance side. DKP is quantifiable, loot councils are basically "Trust me bro".

I saw the collapse of no less than three guilds I was part of on Live, all completely implode because of Loot Council. Two of them had too many complaints of unfounded favoritism and bias resulting in a mass exodus, one was actually proven to be biased with the GM diverting all good loot to their wife and their friends resulting in a mass exodus (myself included with that one), and one completely fell apart after the co-leader ran off to another guild with the entire contents of our guild bank. I'm sure Paradoxic from Aeon still remembers that one.
I don't trust the system, so I won't play for any guild that uses it as the dominant factor in determining loot. It can be helpful when used sparsely in otherwise controversial situations, but not as the sole means of deciding where loot goes. I just have no faith in it.
