I'd add more but it is covered so well. :)
The take on the warrior explains why mages like to sheep pull all the time at high levels. :) I was on a UBRS raid and there were some people new to the instance so the raid seemed receptive to listening some. We knew ahead of time if we were going to AoE or CC. I asked the mage to mark the target they were going to sheep so the rogues could choose sap targets better and I knew what I could ignore. They asked me how. I said cast detect magic on it. The mage said detect magic what is that? I said check your spell book after this pull just sheep what you can this time. So he figures out what detect magic is and starts using it. He later whispers me. "This is cool thanks". I had just assumed that most L60's knew about it. He finally got to the point where he just got up there and marked and we cruised. So yeah I've been spoiled by guild groups. :)
We managed to explain what a main assist was to most people in that raid as well. They started to let me tank more than one mob when we needed it too. Afterwards people commented on how well the raid went, but ask Alrin just how much coaching I was doing on that one. :) I alsp loved how people were confused on the Drakk strategy we were using but how, since we had taught them what an MA was, we were able to just say if you assist Telsak for the whole fight you can't go wrong. It worked out because the hunter and the warlock new what they were doing as did the secondary tank on Drakk. :)
Oh and I'll make and Obligitory Strat in this post as well just because. :)
Drakk can be kited quite nicely by a hunter and this actually saves on the chance of anyone getting conflagged. A hunter can pull him all the way out across the bridge and you can tear up the two guards. The hunter can then FD, if it is resisted he can just run, and get Drakk back into the room. I would like to try this on the next guild/alliance run.

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