You get them from killing bosses and stuff. Then you can "spend" them to buy items from liek raiding. Its not a real currency from the game but most guilds use them. Normally have a dkp website you can check prices of items and how much you spent and earned and stuff.

basically it is something the guild keeps track of, it doesn't exist in game.

A system of points that is kept track of by the raid leader. You would receive these points for doing anything raid relevant, and they could be used for buying Items that drop of bosses. If something you want does drop you would whisper your raid leader how much DKP you are willing to offer. The reason you would whisper and not say out in Raid chat is to avoid Loot drama.
Whoever has the highest bid will win the item, and the winners bid would go turn to one higher then the 2nd's offer, that might be a bit confusing, so heres an example:
Bob whispers to his RL: 16 dkp for [big axe]
Bill whisper to his RL: 11 dkp for [big axe]
Bob wins the bid for 12 dkp

For an example on DKP distribution, this is my guilds system;
2 DKP for showing up
2 DKP for staying the whole raid time
2 DKP for completing a new Boss
2 DKP for completing a new Achievment
1 DKP if you were outstanding during the raid.
