I'm just spitballing here, but you could even break the rotation into different categories and you can only sign up for one. This could get the up and coming guilds on a faster rotation for easier stuff (something like WToV, KD, Velketor, etc.) the mid-progression guilds into a faster rotation for medium stuff (Yelinak, Dain, Draco, some of NToV?) and the biggest guilds into the larger tier (AoW, harder ToV, stuff like that). You only sign up for one rotation at a time, which keeps people moving through pretty quickly.
I don't know, just a thought. The point is there are so many more mobs now with Velious that things like this are possible and guilds can participate in the tier that makes the most sense based on their current progression.
Edit for above responses: I think the one key that is missing that would prevent history repeating (which I still contend is hardly a certainty) is GM enforcement of whatever is set up. If Azure Guard becomes the new Taken and wants to blow everything up and stomp down the little guys, we'd just be removed from the rotation and put into Class C or whatever it's called this time around. Having experienced a year and a half of that already, I think we'd suck it up and continue with the rotation.
