In WotLK, there are no attunements, for anything. Just hit 80? You can zone in and give Malygos a poke. But is this a good thing? Especially with Heroics? You used to need Revered (and then Honered) to get the Heroic Key. So by the time you were able to do Heroics you were usually ready (gear wise) for them. But now that there's no keys, you have folks jumping right away into Heroics, and that can make a good run a pretty brutal one. I imagine that taking the keys away is a function of not having a specific faction tied to a certain dungeon (thank god) but is there some other way to 'throttle' it a bit?

With the exception of a couple very specific fights, I don't see an issue with someone stepping in in BoJ gear and not being able to pull their weight easily enough. As it stands right now, the most difficult heroic boss fights are:

1) Slad'ran (without using the exploit)
2) Loken (unless you have a well geared Holy/Discipline Priest or Resto Shaman and the pRNG doesn't screw you)
3) Eregos (this isn't about gear, this is about quality play)
