Why not just make it so that if you down a boss if you down it again you can't receive any loot from it until reset? Seems simple enough.

That seems simple...but think of how much overhead it'll add. Instead of tracking one instance, two for heroics, Naxx will be like a dozen each.

All I see it is another table in a database. When the character drops a boss it sends a query to the db if they dropped the boss that week then set off a flag to not allow this person to loot. If one isn't there mark it so if they down it again within the week it will flag it then.

This would not only work, the system already exists. If you wipe on the last boss of heroic VH, zone in again you have to down the bosses again, but you get no badges, and no loot, until you down the next 'new' boss. Simple, effective, already exists, why not implement it?
