meh, I first started running heroics with like 2k gearscore, and at 3k they were getting easy. now at over 4k they are a joke. Isn't Naxx 25 supposedly a 2700 GS raid?

And Gearscore is very broken. It doesn't account for Gems, or enchants, or talent builds, or anything, other than what the itemlevel of a given item is. It's only useful for things like Flame Leviathan, where your gear is used to determine the hitpoints and damage output of the vehicle you are in. I think my main team is between 4k and 4.3k and my shamans are at 4.3-4.4k but they are in all PvP gear.

IF they can come up with an update to gearscore that detects what spec you are in, and cross references the gear to match the spec, and rate accordingly, then its a bit more useful, but as it is now, I can pad gearscores by mixing gear from both of my specs, or even use random crappy items that are of a higher ilvl... I'd rather have a 3k gearscore dps with proper gemming, enchants and spec, than a 5k GS rogue wearing druid spellpower gear, who bought the toon off of ebay...

But besides all that, Fursphere hit the nail on the head. Nobody who is pugging wants to risk ANY sort of mistake, so they only stuff raids with a bunch of extremely overgeared people, who have already done the hardmodes and claim that it's a "badge run" As if it wasnt faster to get more badges in less time from heroics... I've seen sillyness like "LFM Naxx 25 PST GS and Achieve 4500+ only Badge Run" and the pug leader is at like 3500....
