There are so many ways this could work based on how Blizzard explained it.
Does a boss drop multiples of the same item and attempt to pass them all out to the highest rollers, with gold given as booby prizes to the absolute highest that can't use an item?
Does it just take the 4 highest rollers and pass out an item to those that can use and give gold to the remainder, potentially passing out less than 4 pieces of loot?
Does the boss have a "pool" of items it can pass out? Say the raid kills Madness of Deathwing, and it chooses to have the ability to pass out Titahk (caster staff), Gurthalak (2h STR sword), Rathrak (caster dagger), and Maw of the Dragonlord (healer mace).
Say the 4 highest rolls are 3 warrior DPS and a mage.
Does it give the 3 warriors one Gurthalak each? How does it pick what to give the mage? Maybe he wanted the staff, but the system gave him a dagger...can he pick, or is he stuck with the random thing the system gave him?
What if one of the warriors is already using a heroic Dragon Soul weapon? does it still give him a Gurthalak, or can he pick the gold?
Let's pretend one of the 4 highest rollers is a hunter, who can't (practically) use any of the above. Does the system then pass out 3 items to the remaining players and the hunter gets gold resulting in fewer than 4 pieces of loot being rewarded? Or does it go down the list until it finds someone that can use an item that "dropped"? Does it go down the list rewarding gold to ineligible players? How many players can it potentially reward gold to if it does this?
Maybe the boss doesn't "drop" anything at all, and the 4 highest rolls just get something from its loot table if they want, or choose gold if they don't want an item?
SO MANY QUESTIONS!
