nope, for MC you have to do http://www.wowwiki.com/Attunement_to_the_Core and for BWL you have to do http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Blackhand%27s_Command
Now to get IN, you don't *have* to do the quests, you just have to go pretty deep in BRD to get to the MC portal and BWL, you have to find the portal in UBRS. It saves the group a lot of time if you can get attuned first. I've got all my toons attuned and I'm able to lock summon people in, so it's not a *huge* deal if I'm going to be in the run.
The other night I decided to blitz through BRD since I had never actually completed the dungeon on any toon. Well it turns out I didn't have the shadow forge key. So I said Ok lets go get it (after clearing half the instance and realizing i killed the guy with the key already).
So after killing myself and getting the quest I head back in (reset the instance). While trying to avoid aggro on a pack of trash (why I don't know - I thought it would save time I guess), I managed to fall off a cliff and into a magma river. The upside is I found a shortcut to MC if you are not attuned and don't have the shadow forge key. Swim down the magma river stopping at the various rock outcroppings to regain health. You might be able to levitate over it, not sure though. Eventually you come to the bridge leading into MC and there is a path leading out of the river to the bridge.
"Great!" I thought," Now I can get attuned."...only I didn't have the quest. A quick magma bath later and I made another discovery - you can get the MC attunement quest while a ghost.
So short story long, a quick romp through BRD turned into an hour and a half slog through magma rivers and the afterlife, but I am now attuned. If I'm on when you guys run it, I'd like to see the content. I've never seen it and would like to before Cata changes things.
funny that pretty much summarizes all my runs (at level) through BRD.
Including a 7hour run where i was trying to heal as a resto/elem shaman in vanilla at level 53.
yes, 7 hours straight, with some RL friends in guild, and back in the days the resto tree wasn't what it is now, i can tell you >.<
Protip: Ragnaros has more RP than LK, don't hero early >.<
