All the people I know that run fractal CMs regularly started out by doing it with friends or guildies. They eventually got the LNHB or DwD or KP to run solo and eventually just stopped playing together.
In the end, you're going to need to do the same thing. For what it's worth, the majority of LNHB and DwD title holders I've played with are competent but nothing special. They run meta builds, and know what utility/boons/cc are useful and at what time. Your aim is to find equally competent people at the hours you play. LFG is only a starting point, since you're rolling the dice.
