"Low ranged hit: 4.21% < 9% (157 more HR to cap)"
I'm kinda obsessed with rating my character on Be Imba!, and am slowly improving my character (Well, haven't made much progress in the last week, since I've been distracted by work and levelling a new Shaman). On the whole though, I've pretty much managed to ditch my entire TBC equipment with some easily-obtained quest, crafted, and rep gear.
For the first time ever, Be Imba! isn't complaining about my gem selection; it may have issues with my trinkets, and some enchants (A cheap Major Agility I bought for my Icier Barbed Spear, thinking I'd upgrade it to the Ebon Blade Runeblade once I hit Revered. Also some Heavy Borean Armor Kits I slapped on anything I didn't feel like spending money for an enchant on). BI! suggests that I should perform well into raids, with upgrades dropping in Heroics that I should be able to storm past.
I want to do Heroics.
I never did Heroics in TBC.
Aside from my own skill concerns, it seems the only thing that's really stopping me is what could be considered a low hit rating. As quoted above, I apparently need another 157 HR to cap. I can probably pull another +16 on that by switching the gem I have in my ring for the same HR gems I have elsewhere. So that's 141 short.
Theorycrafting aside, how important is HR in heroics? Is it worth further upgrading my gear to get capped, or should I be able to pull my weight regardless?

When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
