From a certain perspective, PUGs on a guild run can be seen as hired mercenaries. We make it known in advance that certain drops are being called for by guildmates, and will ask if the Pugs are looking for something specific. IF there's a conflict, we'll offer to compensate the PUGs, either with gold or other loot IF it drops. Most puggers seem to understand that we're in a similar boat - without us forming a solid core they wouldn't even see the boss, and without them we wouldn't have that last bit of edge to drop the boss.

I think this is a great idea. As a player who does most of his raids through pugs, I gotta say that if I saw a raid was offering gold in lieu of certain items, I'd be FAR more likely to choose it over the one that just said "loot reserved".
