At a wall in my progression.

You're trying to do this the hard way. Honestly, multiboxers have one HUGE strength - we can earn money SUPER fast doing dailies.

Its just painful to jump into heroics when you're way undergeared. Do dailies for a few days, make thousands of gold, then buy yourself a HUGE leap in gear all in one sitting.

When I hit 80, I finished all my storm peaks and icecrown quests in a few days and had like 20k gold. I spent it all in 1 day buying all sorts of BoE epics, gems, enchants, etc, and walked into my first heroic about a week after hitting 80 with something like 1600+ sp on my shamans and my tank was uncrittable with ~23k hp and 19% dodge and 15% parry.

This is far FAR less painful then trying to master heroics while controlling all 5 characters and undergeared to boot.

The other option is to take the 20k and grind up your professions. A lot of the craftable gear is designed as an entry into heroics/raiding. Until the huge buff to DK defense, the only way to hit 540 was a mix of crafted and faction gear. The faction gear was at revered and some of the crafted pieces were as low as level 74; but it got you to 540 and that was all that mattered as a tank.

Another thing to consider is that unless you have been isntancing as you leveled your group, or had experience with it pre wrath, you will have a learning curve. Instances are tricky for boxers to get the feel for. The transition from questing/pvp to pve isntance is not always as smooth as you'd like. I'd make sure you can handle the level 80 instances on non heroic before I even considered a heroic. The nice thing is you still get rep in these instances and some of the drops are very nice (tanking trinket from reg HoL is almost mandatory IMHO).
