SoO Heroic: (Skewed by Mythic at end of patch)
25 - 4,570 Guilds X 25 = 114,250 Players
10 - 20,014 Guilds X 10 = 200,140 Players
ToT Heroic:
25 - 1,750 Guilds X 25 = 43,750 Players
10 - 18,793 Guilds X 10 = 187,930 Players
Tier 14 Heroic
MSV:
25 - 1,589 Guilds X 25 = 39,725 Players
10 - 16,371 Guilds X 10 = 163,710 Players
Hof:
25 - 961 Guilds X 25 = 24,025 Players
10 - 4,941 Guilds X 10 = 49,410 Players
ToE:
25 - 596 Guilds X 25 = 14,900 Players
10 - 2,844 Guilds X 10 = 20,844 Players
Tier 17 Mythic:
(Kargath) 20 - 13,235 Guilds X 20 = 264,700 (Lots of 10 man guilds puging and running short)
** This is about what I would expect to see since there were ~300,000 players running Mythic SoO at the end of MoP
(Twins) 20 - 8,132 Guilds X 20 = 162,640 (We 18 maned our first kill)
(Beast Lord) 20 - 4869 Guilds X 20 = 97,380
Comparing BrF to ToT seems to be the best fit. There is a massive drop in the number of raiders doing the content over the period of time it has been available. In general 10 man has 66% more players doing it than were doing 25. Looking at beast lord its pretty obvious that 66% of the guild base just didn't make it from the start of the expac.
Though I guess blizz doesn't care since out of 7 million players 200,000 players is nothing to them. But who knows might have a chaining effect....
