"Ah, but you see, Discussion = Drama. If two people genuinely need an item, and they both roll, then all you can honestly complain about is your luck. The dice are there to even the playing field between timid players and bossy players, between the "in crowd" of the group and the outsiders."

Not so. When I first started OTing in Kara with a new guild, I won a roll for Attumen's Vambraces of Courage, much to the consternation of the MT who wanted them to finish out her set and had been apparently trying to farm them and discussing same in vent and in raid chat before I joined or was AFK. She harassed me endlessly through whispers for the remainder of the run, especially after the raid leader swapped our tanking positions for various fights.

Some people are going to give others grief regardless of how the loot is handled.
