My question is: what is dkp?
I hear that alot from raiders. How does that work exactly?

dkp is a system to assign loot in a raid.
it is not a component of the game, you manage it yourself (there are addons like raidtracker to let you track who got which drops, but they don't provide the dkp system).
you get dkp for going on raids, killing bosses, being on time, providing potions to the guild etc.
then you spend those points on items that drop by bidding against other players in the raid.
many guilds have class priorities. so that the main tank (who is really important for guild progression) gets tank items first. or that caster damage gear goes to mages and warlocks first, before allowing priests to bid on it for solo and pvp use.
