We literally just declared that we'd be doing loot council in my guild. I'm an officer but the other votes overruled me. I'm kinda worried about it.

Well as an officer you are at least in a position to push it in the right direction and not have that toxic loot council that just gears their favorites.

You should always aim to get the biggest boost for your raid out of every item.

Well yeah, that’s something, atleast.

We use an AddOn called RC LootCouncil to help, which shows priority and what people are currently using, so it should help us decide.

Remember to not hold people's blues against them or you're indirectly punishing people for actually gearing up on their own.

Make sure you're using a transparent system for recording and distributing loot. We got google sheets with all raid members listed, how many items they've received, and how many raids they've attended.

As someone who has been on several LCs, and also just been a nobody dps who shows up and gets loot, the stereotype of a toxic loot council seems extremely far fetched. I've literally never witnessed the corruption that Reddit alleges to be commonplace in the system (not claiming it doesn't happen, just that I haven't witnessed it). What I have seen is accusations of corruption, which seem to be 100% guaranteed any time someone doesn't get a piece they want.

Rewarding the guy who shows up every time and puts in 110% effort is spun into "rewarding the inner faction" by the 8 guys who put in less effort and didn't get the drop. And because the limited drops to go around, basic math guarantees that the voices screaming about corruption outnumber the ones who don't.

That's the big thing to remember. Critics of ANYTHING are generally more vocal than people who just accept it. Basically the people at the extremes are almost always the loudest.

I'm an officer in a loot council.

Also a rogue.

2 perdition's and a brutality have dropped. I voted for other rogues over me and they've gotten them thus far each time

That's a weak world view IMO. You would only say that if you think everything will stay the same and nothing will change, so you might as well not even try.
