I also think that doing RFC with baby alts from reliable guildies is probably a rather different experience to public pick-up groups.

Oh yeah. I took my 20 dwarf hunter and 4 other 18-21s from guild to VC 2 days ago. Baby alts of experienced players, all of them. I was teaching the warrior how to tank, her main(s) were druid and mage, and I was able to back her up with my pet, and so on. We were all playing out of position, really, but we had enough experience and understanding of pulls to make it fairly easy anyway. And of course we know about the spot on the ship where you'll pull the captain early if you're not careful, and worked around that. A good time was had by all, as everyone followed instructions, and we did have 1 wipe, caused by a new mage targeting the wrong mob, which the group just had a good laugh over, no yelling ensued or anything, so it was very unlike taking a pubbie group to VC/RFC/WC.
As far as items, nothing of huge consequence dropped, though the quest rewards are nice blues. We ran VC for fun, and for training purposes. We all knew the place backwards and forwards, but we didn't yet know our respective new alts that well, so it was a very good thing to do, running the place.
[If anyone cares, here's the group breakdown: a hunter (warrior main), a warrior (druid/mage mains), a rogue (hunter/priest mains), a mage (pally main), and a druid in healer spot (rogue main)]
