Your team should be able to buff up quite nicely as well. Try something like DTK or Gundrak to get a feel for the level you are at. Gundrak is nice if you start with the snake boss, it's pretty much tank and spank with the occaisional AoE thrown in to kill adds. You may not clear either of those at first but after dying about 3 times to each boss I was able to get a method together that worked and now farm them quite easily. If you try DTK getting passed trollgore was the hard part for me, the rest of the bosses are pretty much free loot once you figure out how to run it.
Hopefully that helps a bit even though I didnt directly address your questions.
How did you reach those numbers without doing heroics? The thing that kills me - in order to get gear to do heroics - you have to do HEROICS???

I tried to 5 box heroics tonight and it was a nightmare. My boys are linked in the sig, I'm also boxing my druid (Arborviate in the same guild).

Button 1 - 6 went like this:

Pull with FF.

1 - Tank macro (Maul, lac, swipe, repeat)
2 - 3 shaman = LB, tank = swipe (cause he wasnt holding aggro for shit on the adds)
3 - Healing wave on tank
4 - LHW on tank
5 - the healie dot
6 - Earthshield on the tank

I would be fine if the druid tank didn't lose aggro. I could see how this would be doable with a pally or DK... but stay away from druid tanks if you dont have the gear!
