Isn't there a better way to distribute raid loot? If not which is most fair?

It currently seems like the raid loot systems in place all favor a small circle of members.

DKP favors those who have the ability to be on all the time, anytime, to accumulate points and repeatedly win gear.

Attendance works pretty much the same way but can also be skewed on the whim of the leader.

Loot council can become a problem if certain members become favored over others, in which case they receive loot while other members raid basically for nothing.

I understand every leader has their own inside crew that gets loot priority as well as epic help priority. The problem is that alot of people can't make all the raids due to life obligations, but we still do make a good amount of them and hope for gear upgrades. As an example, I've received one pair of planar gloves in over a month of raiding in which I made 4/5 raids (before the raid tines were changed to a time I basically almost never am able to make). I've had people with equal attendance of the same class receive multiple items in a row while I was given something that was rotting.

What's the best system to resolve this? As it stands I'm going to end up level 60 with one planar piece, old world gear, and under 10k in the bank easily especially with some high end spell purchases.
