It makes sense for a zone that repops every 8ish hours, not for one that repops every 7 days.
14 guilds can rotate Plane of Sky each week and experience all the content. It would take nearly 4 months to do the same for ToV.

Yes, so you wouldn't rotate all of NToV as a zone, you would be rotating individual mobs. Similar to what already exists with Tunare.
For the sake of simplicity let's say we have four NToV capable guilds, each could get one Vulak and one Vyemm rotated to them each month. The remainder of NToV bosses could be rotated based on your position in the rotation, less valued ones being relegated to whoever has the more valuable top bosses of the zone.
And of course there are many other bosses that can factor into a rotation, Dain/Yeli/Tormax, CT. Maybe Doze and AoW are part of the meta rotation or maybe they have their own rotation depending on which guilds are capable.
Could establish ground rules for determining which guilds are considered capable of the content, and how to determine if they've regressed far enough to lose their rotation spots. Rules for engaging like kill Vulak etc. within 24 hours of spawn on your turn or it goes to the next rotation guild or goes FFA. There will never likely be 14 guilds to split between like in your quote, there's really not even fourteen for sky as all slots aren't even claimed.
Quakes could of course remain total free for alls. Maybe Kunark/Hate/Nag/Vox are completely out of the rotation and FFA across the board.
Again, this would take a lot of up front work to establish but once it was rolling it would be reasonably automatic. We'd have a nice shared google drive calendar to check your guild's place in it all instead of socking and racing a window like a manic headcase. Its not that hard to imagine considering the amount of work and organization that's gone into the rules of raid engagement by both staff and players over the years. If we can have a rule for every possible foot race scenario, then certainly we can come up with a raid calendar of relative fairness and common sense.
But of course there's always that one guild, previously AM and currently Riot, who is getting the vast majority or even all of those high value targets every spawn. For them there is zero motivation to agree to share anything until they are usurped by the next mega guild to take their place at the top.
