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 how easy the heroics are, I'm not sure attunements would have made much sense. So far it feels like level 80 heroics in Naxx10 gear are easier than level 70 heroics in Sunwell gear. Some of the achievements add a challenge, but if all you are after is loot and badges most of them are a breeze.
