I like your idea of monitoring instead of grouping. Not being able to see everyone's status that you need to monitor is frustrating... it's also unproductive to be forced to monitor the status of 20+ people you don't need to be monitoring.

An issue may come from loot, unless you force everything into instances what's to stop Alann and Blizzy from coming along and engaging the same Boss or Event or Objective as you and having an equal chance at reward.

In regards to a facebook style friendship system instead of guilds I don't think this ideal works well when it comes to MMO and progression. So many events/raids seem to be tied to bottlenecks in terms of gear/keys that progressing with a guild works as a better system than a loose collection of friends based upon common links. This system may lend itself better towards a game like PS or League of Legends where there isn't so much progression tied to the status of content completion of your guild.
