The key thing that a council system lacks is predictibility. People want to know when it'll be their turn. With a council, the answer is "maybe soon, maybe never", depending on the needs of the group. Also, the individual can do little to improve their chances, other than bribing the council. :P
GG, I agree that Warriors and Rogues need more FR than Mages and Hunters, for example, but I'm not sure I see where the dichotomy is there... what rogue drops would be contested by other classes? Hunters get to wear Black Dragonscale if they want FR, so I don't see them going after rogue gear. I suppose that pallies and warriors could be after the same gear, but I (contrary to my participation in this thread) haven't been interested enough in endgame loot to look it up and do comparisons.
