I'm curious as to the rationale behind this rule.
This is a successful (and, I'd daresay, pretty standard) set of rules; the only real loopholes have already been mentioned with regards to specs with no competition "faking" a mainspec, but that's something that can only really be fixed on Blizzard's end (plus, they'll miss out on jewelry).
Disregarding the labels of "mainspec" and "offspec", I think a simpler solution is to /roll 100 for your third tier (DE Prevention) rolls, /roll 101 200 for your 2nd (lower priority) need roll and /roll 201 300 for highest priority need roll. Spec rules need not apply, because people still have to be smart about what they burn their high priority roll on, and they get a finite number of the higher-tiered /rolls. Also gets it out of the way quicker, because there's only one roll "round".
As you seem to have alluded to, once your runs are semi-permanently guild members only, you have a lot more flexibility and can adopt the "loot goes where it's most useful for the guild" mentality; for now, with a high percentage of the raid being pick ups, you don't really have a choice, as you seem to have recognized.
