Well, the seven day lockout is really a poorly implmeneted feature that made it into retail, because raid instances were introduced so late in the beta that they didn't have time to fix up all the issues. The seven-day thing is to allow groups to spend as long as seven days to clear a particular raid instance (and believe me, Molten Core needs it!). It was not intended, however, to prevent an individual from joining different Molten Core raid groups within a given seven day period. Luckily, the patch notes for the upcoming patch seem to indicate that this problem will be alleviated finally.
