As to trash farming, we've had most luck with the Gurtogg trash. Cleared with as low as 11 people on weekends, though I'd recommend around 15 for the 8packs.
You can get by with some crazy group makeups (cleared with a single tank was probably the hardest).
I'd recommend 2 good tanks, 2 mages as a minimum unless you've got a fair amount of experience with the packs. On the big 8-pulls sheep both the blade fury guys because they're by far the most dangerous. Use any CC you might have sap/trap/fear all work really well, and tank the remaining mobs.
The other tricky pull with low numbers is the spectator packs - typically we have a holy pally tank up with consecrate for the little guys and one tank each on the big guys. Sometimes if we're slow he has to bubble off the healing debuff. The spectator packs are worth almost 100 rep each.
As for loot, we track raiding upgrades the same way we do during regular scheduled raids, just to avoid stupid loot inversion problems (e.g. people letting valid upgrades rot during raids so they can pick them up during trash farming for free, etc).
Tokens and Hearts go to the bank for redistribution as usual, and gems are /roll for need as a little incentive for folk to farm hearts for the guild.
