We use a loot list method which forces people to prioritize, so this is rarely a problem, but in cases where it that doesn’t cover it we also do the round approach, generally main spec > off-spec > pvp > fashion > shard.

Tanks who want threat, mitigation and avoidance sets usually do for a reason. They like to switch to certain sets for different fights because they feel it’ll help.

As for how to manage it, that’s entirely up to your guild. Try organize the biddings in rounds. Those who DO need it for their main spec set go off first. If no one wants it, it goes into round 2 where its opened up.

Regardless of DKP, Council Loot, Rolling, etc systems people tend to “need” main sets and “greed” offsets. This seems to be a pretty hot topic recently with the Dual Spec’s approaching.
