I'm experiencing some of this now, Bolty. Keshi, my tank warrior, is always getting asked for help by the guildies, but, when she needs to run to Hearthglen (can't solo 56 elites well) for a quest, no help is forthcoming, no one has time. I retired her for a week, and they got the point, since she was the *only* in-guild tank above 50 at that time, not even a pally.
And, on my Alliance server (Uldum), Limited and Union are skimming the cream, especially healers, off the top of the mid-sized guilds. It's just business, and it's not your guild, it's the kind of people who jump. There's very little you can do to stop them. Those that can be bribed will jump. Simple as that.
