Ore is almost never the issue, it's almost always cores that hold up crafting items, and honestly what you can make with the cores for warriors won't matter much till we are facing Baron Geddon and the Lava Packs. The whole raid will need crafted gear that takes cores for Ragnaros.
Without a DKP system giving value to cores that just go to a bank and then are purchased later by players for crafts they aren't as easy to deal with. You could try a tricky "percentage" split of the cores and ore to the guilds at the end, but that can get very very tricky and will have spill over into other runs. However using a mod like Dave to just random them all off rapid at the end isn't so bad. But when Avarice was doing this at first a lot of people just donated whatever they won to the bank anyway. But if we don't have a formal alliance a random off of the ore is fine (especially since it can be found outside MC now). Cores could be guild rolled, weighted guild rolled or straight random (or handled by the another list in the SK system everyone gets on the list and the cores just rotate through that list, they have pretty much the same value). I figure pretty much every core a lurker wins will end up in a lurker bank along with the ore, but if you do a list for everyone there, the guild with the most people will get the most cores, it handles your weighted rolls for you.
Too bad I don't have Marn back since I could skin the Corehounds with him. Don't forget the Core leather for crafting as well, though again it is rarely the ingredient you don't have enough of, the fiery and lava cores are the ones that are generally in short supply. But core leather will need to be dealt with as well.
Honestly the crafts for the warriors will likely see more value on Onyxia before they see value in Molten Core though. But dealing with the mats and getting them stored and distributed is a big issue.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
