Some people would be very upset with the idea that because of something someone else did they had parts of the game they were never going to be able to access(gear, bosses, whatever).

They can have the slightly down tuned variant that comes out a little later. That's the thing about competition. Not everyone can become merciless gladiator. And so not everyone would be able to become a phoenix, but the Top10 guilds would all have them.
It should not change the gear the people can get, but these titles, mounts, special reputation or something like that. Have Illidan for the first 4 ids drop 20000 gold and 400 marks of illidari or have special reward quests only available in that time or give them something like 30000 honor for free. Many ideas - for sure not all are good, but in my opinion the way should go to more competition in raids.
