I love the first half of what you said, 100% accurate.  Lots of guilds really are not thinking of how much you enjoy the game when dividing loot.  I'm positive most of the people trashing ret palys are just angry because they lost rolls to palys.  I'm a mage and let me tell you, it does not matter if its a paly or a warrior or a shammy who hits me with this mace, I hate the hell out of it.
