Here's the way one guild on our server managed it:

1)Lets say your guild kills Luci on Monday, getting through the first six bosses.
2)On Wednesday, two people from your guild (not in the first raid) attend another's Luci/Mag raid.
3)Thursday, the group locked into the first instance finishes it, killing Ragnaros.
4)On Sunday, your raid ID is expired. Have the two that were on someone else's run start the raid, everyone else joins in (with no raid ID), and you go from there wiping out bosses. Here's the kicker: You've got all but two MC bosses to down, but your raidlock still expires on Tuesday. You can now manage to kill Ragnaros 3 times in 2 weeks.

Even worse, you've now essentially stolen that ID from the group the random players were with. You're progressing in somebody else's instance.

If your guild is big enough, you could manage to do this without outside "help". Do it right, and you're looking at about 3 Ragnaros kills a week.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
