Quark ran into some very obnoxious problems with this mod the other night (which I'll let him explain).
I think the sad fact of the matter is that mods like this which depend on transmitting updating data to people are just not workable from the client side. It would be nice if Blizzard could set up infrastructure for guild linking and raid management so that the server is sending this information (and storing the raid data). It wouldn't be that hard -- here at work, this is what we DO, and I know what's involved -- but it would require both knowledge of how to do it properly and hardware, which they probably would rather not invest in.
