Avarice Alliance - "Off Days" for raiding

[Soraia]

1. Have an off day. We raid Monday, Thursday, Saturday. The next Monday is off and we open MC on Thursday. Then the next Thurs would be off and we open MC on Saturday. The off day can still be organized for 5 mans or 10-15 man loot raids or outdoor questing or alts gone wild or for nothing at all.
5. Hunt world bosses
6. Bump the rotation start with the floating Ony schedule as Darian mentioned (since that post isn't here basically if we kill Ony on Wed, and Thurs was the star of MC, we move the start of MC to Sat and leave Thursday out and basically an open day to do whatever.  If Ony is killed on a Friday Saturday becomes the open day really just a way to schedule option 1).
7. Have an MC trash day (this would, ideally, be done with Luci and Mags alive so we can get core leather as well). I doubt we'd get a lot of sign up for this but it would give us more crafting mats to make Rag easier.  It would also give us more core leather and Dark Iron ore that could go to a crafter rep fund.  Gnolack is 1880 (I think) Dark Iron ore from Revered (Dark Iron Leggings and Dark Iron Gloves) and a long way away from Exhalted (Dark Iron Boots).
8. Have a PvP night. Either in Battlegrounds or out in the world.

These are the options that make the most sense to me. Of them, I think #1 or #6 makes the most sense for me personally. I'm concerned that I might raid too much in a given week so there are times I think about scaling back. Also, like WildFire, I'm trying to get Phaedra to Revered with Thorium Brotherhood -- but as a tailor/enchanter, this requires farming coin and gaming the Auction House. (I am at least 10% of the way there but now both Astraea and Phaedra are relatively poor. Selling a Libram of Resilience helped immensely.) Molten Core, Onyxia, or Zul'Gurub, while fun, are relatively poor for moneymaking after you factor in repair costs and the cost of new reagents for Prayer of Fortitude (or Arcane Brilliance should I ever bring my mage to any of these). In these, loot or more points in ARP is the reward -- but those won't help buy DIO for TB rep. :)

I'm also amenable to 5,10,15-man instance runs to do questing or pick up items on my wish list so I can farm better/faster or complete my formula/pattern collection or something. :)

PvP could also be fun. It's been mentioned that I might want to consider that as a break from the near-monotonous grinding necessary to pull off the lunacy I'm trying to do. :) (Well, on the plus side, I'll reach Friendly with Timbermaw tonight or late tomorrow night...)

#5 (world bosses) would be fun if there are any of them up and not already being taken down by other guilds.

In re trash mob runs in MC, how are we doing for these crafting materials? I've not paid attention to the requests thread on the CA forum so I don't know how well our current supplies satisfy demand -- and how well our normal income of cores will meet eventual demand, etc., so on. (I'm a sysadmin, not an economist.)
