Given that our current DKP table is out of date, to the point of irrelevance, it might be time for an adjustment. If we want to change anything about the way loot is handled for Cataclysm, now would be the time to discuss.

Baring a few minor adjustments, my current plan is to go forward as we always have.
DKP will be normalized before the first Cata raid based on the values currently on the board. For those not familiar with normalization, that's where I reduce the DKP of every raider down to an average of about 100 DKP. If you have 200 DKP right now, you may end up with 60 DKP for the expansion while someone with 1000 DKP right now may end up with 140 DKP for the expansion. The end result of this normalization is that people who have massive amounts of DKP will be able to get just one piece of loot before falling back with everyone else - instead of being able to fully gear themselves before anyone else has a shot at anything.
DKP awards will continue to be 10 DKP per boss kill with 5 DKP timed awards every 30 minutes. Loot costs will be 1/2 DKP for Main Spec and 1/8 for Off.
I'm not particularly keen on making significant changes to our system (IE: switching to a bid system or something), but I'll listen to any ideas anyone has in regards to changes to the current set-up.
Just remember that the somewhat messy state of the current DKP can be blamed on end of expansion issues and is not a particularly good indicator of how it generally runs. The current system has been working amazingly ever since we upgraded from napkin DKP back in BC.

I honestly think a loot council is a valid option. I have nothing against our current system and if we continue to use it I believe we should not alter it.
