Guilds at the bleeding edge are good because we spend a lot of time together and work hard. We've spent a lot of time learning to work as a team, we've spent a lot of time gearing ourselves up and we spend a lot of time making sure everyone in the raid is prepared for whatever meets us in an encounter. From the release of Naxx until our kill this weekend, we spent hundreds and hundreds of hours raiding and thousands and thousands of gold in consumeables. Additionally, every high end guild has 2-3 strategists and 2-3 solid mod writers.
DnT and Nihilum, in particular, also benefited from LOTS of cream of the crop cross server applicants that allowed them to flesh out their ranks with people in superb gear with extensive Naxx experience.
Skill certainly helps, but most of WoW is time spent on the mob and spent preparing for the mob. The guilds who get the first kills have spent the most time gearing up and the most time learning the encounters, it's pretty simple.
