What day and time does the guild rep cap reset? I play on the US Wildhammer, a central time zone, realm. However, please answer this question so that it helps anyone from another realm.
The weekly cap resets along with Daily Quests, at 3 AM, server time, on Tuesday Morning for US servers, and at 3 AM server, Wednesday morning for EU servers.

I've somehow managed to ruin my reputation with the Steamwheedle goblins, and they don't talk to me anymore. What should I do to quickly and easily regain their support?
There is a very good guide linked from a similar question on Epic Advice that details killing a bunch of Bloodsail Buccannears to gain reputation quickly with the Steamwheedle.
I would like to point out a faster (and as yet unmentioned) way to get Steamwheedle rep. Specifically, grinding Southsea Freebooters (just south of Ratchet) and Wastewander (and/or Southsea Pirates*) in Tanaris. I find the rep/hour is much better than grinding shackle keys in Diremaul -- at least for me, who averages just over 2 keys/hour in DM (despite killing all 5 guards/captains 5 times an hour). And this can actually be done all the way to Exalted, if you are smart about when you grind what.
The rest of the guide details the order in which to farm reputations to get the best bonuses possible, and also includes many alternate methods you may find useful.

I realize that you gain reputation by completing quests and running Raids/Dungeons. What I want to know is how much do you gain (and whether it's a percentage or a flat rate or based on level), what the weekly/daily cap for how much you can gain, etc. All the numbers associated with gaining reputation with one's guild, and how to do it more expediently.
Note: Reputation, not XP
Anytime you do something that awards Guild Experience (or would, were your guild not at the cap), you'll earn Guild Reputation, up to the cap. Guild Rep gained is equal to guild XP generated/365 (Guild XP is 1/4th of the XP your character gains, or would gain if at level cap).
Phrased another way:
Guild Rep = Experience/1460
If you want to gain guild rep fast, the best way to do it is far and away by running Heroic 5 mans. It's fairly easy to cap for the week after just a few runs.
Reputation from a 25 man Raid Boss on normal mode is somewhere between 56 and 58. The exact fractional value is, unfortunately impossible to determine due to the way WoW displays fractional rep gains. (that is, it doesn't, but it does track them.)
The weekly cap on reputation, as pointed out by Raven is 3500 reputation. This cap increases to account for any +rep gain modifiers such as the Human 'Diplomacy' racial trait, or the 'Mr. Popularity' guild perk (both ranks). (i.e. for a Human in a Level 12 guild, the weekly cap is 4200).
