I have tried spending 2�-3 hours on a single wing without completing it. 
  1 boss down, 5 peeps leaves, next boss, waiting for maybe 1-2 tanks 
and 2 heals etc...  Last boss.  The raid fall apart due to low dps, low 
healing or bad tanking from dpsers with tank offspec.  Requeue for the 
last boss 1-2 days later.  Same scenario.
I discussed this with my guildies recently.  And it seems that only 
wednesdays and most thursdays are good for SoO/lfr.  Every lfr needs a 
few heavy dps trucks and 1 experienced tank and those vanishes as they 
usually also does flex and normal thursday and friday night until 
they're vp capped.  Thats my - I hope - valid guess.

I wish you were ally.  My fairly small guild does flex raids for main 
and alts with other small guilds and we usually manage to pick up 12-18 
peeps every flex raid night 3 times a week).  Cozy and relaxing 
atmosphere with a lot of mature +35y peeps.  It would have been a 
pleasure to invite you. :)
