You could join a raiding guild and get that within a month or two no problem without spending the plat.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume a timeline like that. Could you get the required DKP in a month or two of frequent play? Probably.
Will you be able to attend the specific raid where the item you need drops, another guild isn't contesting it, and you aren't outbid by another guildie? That's the real question. Remember gratz Bladefrenzy?

I bought my Shaman's Epic while I was frequently raiding in Aftermath. I had enough DKP, but I was really unlucky with child tear drops. They just wouldn't drop whenever I did a fear raid. Farming the plat was the faster path in the end, and I paid 75k.
When looking at HoT drops specifically, I am also unlucky with those. My SK needs plate arms, but they never seem to drop when I go to HoT.
I do agree with you that joining a guild is a great way to get items without needing to spend plat, but RnG isn't always on your side. Nor is your play schedule in relation to the raid mob(s) you need to kill.
