From what I have learned during my encounters in heroics and mythics, the difference is not huge. By now I'm geared above 840 Ilvl. Yesterday I did a mythic, and nailed the mechanics on some bosses. Those went down on the first attempt, easy. A couple days earlier I did the same dungeon in heroic, thinking this will be chill I'm over heroics. So at a specific boss which I oneshotted yesterday mythic, I wiped 2 times before I realised that mechanics still is life or death in heroic. So once I got 100% serious and did everything right, the boss went down on heroic.
Eye of azshara have some bosses which I just technically cannot handle. Heroic is a pain. For me there are mythic dungeons who are about as difficult as that.
I know I'm running a team of 5 tanks, but the difference should scale just as much with my team. Especially because I'm a sloppy boxer, and stand in a lot of bad things. So if any encounter specific AoE (which is avoidable and therefore does noticeable damage) increases drastically from heroic to mythic, I would feel that.
I'm suspecting that they made the heroic to mythic jump in Legion sligthly smaller than in WoD. With all the hell that can be unlocked with mythic+, and that experienced players can get what they need from from mythic+ only, there is no need to make regular mythic much more challenging than heroic.
