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.

Sorry, I guess I got the wrong impression about the lock out feature. Due to a bad case of altitis, I'm only lvl 44 despite playing pretty steadily since launch. So you are saying you could form a raid, clear the MC, leave the instance, form up again and take another run at it. I hope people realize that finding the last part of your set will take about as long as finding the last 3 pieces before the lose their job, marriage, etc. Maybe they should put in a limit on the number of times people can run the MC or Oxania in a given period, just to save some sanity.
Also, about excessive ganking,
Quote:At this point, your faction will have recorded a victory in the Alterac Valley Battleground, with a huge number of subsequent honor points being added to the honor pool that will then be distributed to all PvP combatants for the day.
hopefully the coolness of battlegrounds combined with ample oppertunities to kill appropriate level chars and the chance to hit the PVP jackpot will draw bored lvl 60's into the Alterac Valley, allowing everyone else to lvl in relative peace.
