I have never been Master Looter.  I've never even been in a party that has used Master Looter.  I do not feel comfortable using it for the first time on our first time out with another guild.  The best way to ruin guild relations is for the ML to pooch it.

Normally the raid leader is the master looter and does not call the pulls. The raid leader is a lot of watching, book keeping, group organization and raid positioning. The main puller and tanks handle the pull. Bring the fight to where the raid leader places the raid (note the pull comes to the raid, not the other way around).

Thus:

Raid leader: Pull the left side (flashes "Hold fire" on CTRaid)
(MT/Puller discuss the pull)
Puller: "Bring XXX mob(s)"
MT/OTs enages the targets and gets an agro lock (? sunder count)
Raid leader: (flashes "DPS on" on CTRaid)
(leaders chit-chat during the killing, otherwise they are silent)
target(s) die with the hunters mark, marking the order of death (Pulling hunter is picking the next target to focus fire)

Raid leader: Pull (flashes "Hold fire" on CTRaid)
(MT/Puller discuss pull)
Puller: "Bringing XX mobs(s)"
(repeat until the area is cleared)

Raid leader: (flashes "follow me" on CTRaid) and the raid follows to
the next kill spot.

This is the very BORING way a 40 man raid clears. UBRS is a zerg. The way Lurkers handled UBRS with GG calling worked fine. Easy directions, "stay here", and "pull that" worked just fine and kept things very friendly and fun.

I would recommend that a non-puller/MT be raid leader/master looter and one person from each guild to represent each guild (not being the raid leader or puller/mt). Thus the discussions can be among a smaller group of people and not all of us.
