My Thoughts & What I Need

I don't know exactly what you mean here, but I'm going to assume (most likely wrongly) that you have misunderstood things.

Onyxia's Lair is an instance, you can do this instance whenever you want (assuming that all the raid members have the key). You can try over and over and over again, without having to wait for anything. However, once you kill her, you're "locked" into a raid instance which basically means that everytime you enter the Onyxia instance portal, you enter the one where you've already killed her - which means that once you've killed her, you can't kill her again until you're no longer "locked in". The locking lasts 5 days for Onyxia, I think.

That is what I meant, the five day respawn. So, even in a "dedicated" guild you might be able to do Onyxia 4 x per month at 2-4 scales ~ 12 /month. So to get 40 or so, would take 4-6 months depending on the number of people. I am assuming that we would need more than 40 people, due to real life conflicts. So, yes, if the Lurkers hit Onyxia once per month rather than 3-4 times per month then it would take 1.5 years or longer.
