Default Heroic dungeon difficulty ranking?

I'm almost "done" with the normal dungeons (except for Murmur who still
refuses to drop the sonic spear for me) and am about to start doing the
heroic dungeons. Actually I've already done heroic Mechanar several times
and have got all items I want from there.

The difficulty of the normal dungeons is pretty obvious as it is (almost)
proportional to the level of mobs in there which can be found mentioned
every here and there. So, the easiest would be the low-level hellfire
citadel dungeons, over to the mid-level coilfang, achindoun and caverns of
time dungeons and up to the level 70 dungeons in tempest keep, shattered
halls and shadow labs.

But what about the heroic dungeons? It's been my impression that Mechanar
is the easiest one, so it seems that the difficulty ranking is not the same
as for the normal dungeons. But, which is it? What's easiest, what's
hardest, and what's in between?

Jens

heroics
i'd say hardest is shadow labs
then shattered halls
not done botanica, prob hard i suppose

easiest i think is mech and slave pens (only done slave pens about twice
though)
not that they are *that* easy, they are nerfing the fire elemental boss in
mech, she is a pain in the ass if your group ain't too good

underbog is a bit of a pain too, more the trash, not the boss's currently i
think
ramparts is fairly easy, although last boss is a pain, and you only get 2
heroic badges for the run, so didn't do it much

had a go at heroic BM, trash kicks ass, can't really dps tank em as they hit
hard, dam whelps
the boss's arn't *too* bad, wiped on trash really

With best regards, Shammy.

Easiest are mechanar, slave pens, rampants, blood furnace
Hardest are Shadow labs, shattered halls, mana tombs first boss if your tank
dont have 200+ shadow res, black morass...
Rest is in between somewhere and depends a lot of the group and what type of
CC do you have.
As always depends a lot of th tank skill and gear and healer but also all
dps must know how to focus fire, there are no mistakes here if a dps gets
aggro he will get 2 shotted for sure so all mobs must be marked and all must
know the kill order all the times. The gear of your tank is very importand
because the better gear the tank has less CC is needed. When I started
tanking heroics on my druid I could take 1 mob at a time, now I can tank 3
without problems (not all mobs ofc there are some mobs as the shettek
ravenguard or the defenders in slave pens, those hit 2500-3000 on 75%
reduction so those need to be kited away because no CC is possible other
than slowing effects.

Slave pens is easy indeed. In my opinion heroic SP is easier than non-
heroic SL if you have decent crowd control. Mobs hit harder than in
normal mode, but most groups are small and a lot of trash can be
completely avoided.

I have three heroic keys (Caverns of time, Tempest Keep, Coilfang
Reservoir), but I still haven't visited any other heroics than Slave
pens. :P I guess I should try heroic Mechanar one day.

It might just be to my guilds particular make up, but I have found Slave
Pens to be quite easy.
