When I first went into ToC with my toons I didnt had any experience with the instance.. Well of course I got the rogue+warrior+healer combo which wiped me in like 10 secs.. (Tankadin+4 Eleshamans)

After a couple of tries I rly figured it out and made it through ToC nh (Well, my tank was the last man standing after the black knight).. My shamans only had crafted gear(blue) and the pvp necklace ( i think they were doing round 1,7k dps)

The next day I wanted to try HToC.. And surprisingly didnt wipe until i made it to the black knight Oo
Again, after some tries I figured it out and even got the achievement (I think its called "I've Had Worse").. At that point my shamans were doing round 1,9k dps i think (max) so its definitely doable even if you are not in full epic gear

Depends.

Jousting is really not much different.

If you get a good combo on the factions champs, they are easy. If you don't, they can be very challenging.

Paletress can be a pita, but it's really about execution, nothing more.

Eadric is a complete pushover.

The Black Knight is where you'll really feel it, though. I had normal on cruise control, and wiped at least 10 times figuring this fight out. I have this place on 15min farm now, and he can still kill me if I forget to drop the right totems, or am not paying attention. The second and third phases are definitely no joke.

I would recommend staying in normal until you can do it without dying consistently. Maybe go try a heroic out just to see, never hurt, but I'm thinking you'll want that experience before you go at it in earnest.
