So, after some confusions...
Obviously, with CA and Lurkers being very similar guilds in terms of their player base -- a few hardcore lunatics ;) along with a bunch of folks who do have to carefully budget their gaming time -- it's difficult for us to really plot out endgame action as a cohesive unit.
Taking into account input from lots of people, and already-existing patterns, I had mentioned this plan on Thursday's raid. Since Monday and Thursdays are established raid nights for CA, and since our closely-allied guilds (Lurkers and KotC) are used to joining us on those nights, we'd start a regular rotation going; one week we'd do Onyxia on Monday and Molten Core explorations on Thursday, the next week we'd reverse that, and so on. This week, it's Onyxia Monday, MC Thursday. (The idea being that by doing this people wouldn't be habitually locked out of one of the two places due to their own schedules.) On the weeks when we run MC on Thursdays, if we progress to the point where we're clearing deeply enough to halt respawns, we'll probably try to reconvene on the weekend to press onward.
This may or may not work out, especially since it appears that our current average available raid complement between the three guilds looks to be about 30 (although we do have characters from 50 different accounts "registered" with our tracking system). We're addressing that by reaching out to another (very) small guild (Harpell House) that's looking for some opportunities.
So that's where we stand; this is Carpe Aurum's plan going forward, and capped Lurkers are, of course, always welcome guests and encouraged to attend, being very much part of the family. (Non-"Lurker" Lurkers who aren't already settled into a cycle of locked instances are also welcome to contact me for slots.)
