When I first started playing WoW, I hadn't the faintest clue of what DKP was.  As I started leveling up, the system sounded silly - why make such a complicated set of rules for loot distribution when you can just roll, after all? - but since I've started raiding, I've come to realize that some sort of system is a helpful at this stage in the game.  But, of course, DKP can mean a lot of different things - and I've seen systems that range from glorified ways for officers to get first choice of all loot to immensely detailed policies that strive to be as fair as possible.  There are numerous different systems, and before joining a new guild - or starting one yourself! - it would be for the best to find out about how DKP is done.  WoWWiki has a nice writeup covering what DKP is and how it can be done and Wanderer from Cenarius server is attempting to define and explain each of the different systems used in the game - the post is lengthy, but quite informative.
