I don't yet have enough confidence to main heal in any 80+ level instances yet, but everything is much more fun!

Blizzard did everyone a favor by brining a lot of vanilla back in Cata.

Not everybody agrees with you. I read the Daily Blues blog on WoW
Insider and it seems like some Blue is defending difficult dungeons
every day. It seems like a lot think that the heroics are too hard (I
wouldn't know as I've not got an 85 yet).

I'm glad the heroics are that hard - They should be. Funny how some are complaining for a nerf already...The games not even a month old!! lol :)

I have no real problems with harder dungeons, but IMO heroics difficulty should scale more, to meet players gear.
I'm at a point (medium item lv334) where I'm overgeared for normal dungeons and undergeared for heroics. I can manage 4 mob pulls in normals, almost never die anymore on bosses, yet I can die to a mere 2 mobs in heroics.
If the random LFG tool gives me heroic Deadmines I just have to say "sorry, I can't tank this with current gear, please kick me".

Careful scaling on minimum ilvl requirement would have made things less confusing and people less angry.



On that I will agree. :) But I guess if your in the middle like that, the intent is that you choose to either run the heroics and struggle with it and hope you get some good drops to help ease your pain, or you run through the regulars, accumulating JP's and purchase your higher gear, until the Heroics are not as mind numbing...
