I'm going to dissect this.

I got a guild group and walked into heroic Grim Batol while I was still 12 iLevels away from heroic-ready by Blizzards standards.
That one point is so necessary oh my god I am not even being sarcastic. I had a GUILD GROUP and Throngus was AEUAEAUEUA

Blizzard made the gear level based on what you would need ESSENTIAL-WISE to survive in a Cata heroic. You need LOTS of stam, first of all, that's why there is a shit ton of it on everything. You also don't even have to be -wearing- higher ilvl gear to get in, it can be sitting in your bag. I have Ring of the Boy Emperor pulling me up a brutal 10 points just because it's in my bag.
You're also not building a total iLevel like Gearscore used to, you're building AVERAGE item level. Meaning that an ilvl 40 shirt would probably have DRAGGED THAT GUY DOWN. You also only need that required item level to PUG them, because Blizzard knows if you have any less going into a PuG heroic it will just be a horrible, horrible experience (and it will).
I'm not about to call you stupid, because you're probably not (your spelling might make initial judgment state otherwise). You're just as misinformed as everyone else was when Cata started, and trust me, I'm heroic ready now but I don't even WANT to PuG them. Cata heroics are not as easy as LK heroics were, and at the rate they are as of this time, I doubt they ever will be. They will only ever get "less painful" to run. Still painful, but less so.
If I can ever get a guild group for anything, ANYTHING, I will take it.
That said, 6 of us killed 30 million hp Rarespawn world boss Mobus the other day. Most fun ever.
