So my question is about dungeons, I tried one yesterday and due to being totally undergeared only tried to clear the trash up to the first boss in UK, 3 of the team had just dinged 68. If I hit level 72 and have my gear sorted by that point to pretty much all green Northrend gear, what would the level of difficulty be vs doing heroics at 80? I know it is hard to judge but I am wondering how much higher should my team be to alow for a nice easy run through the dungeons as I level. It will also be cool to get the dungeon quests completed as I level too and gain the extra Xp and some blues.
Anyone got some insight?
Incoming wall of text - skip to last part to get it all in 3 sentences.

When wrath first came out, I did all of the dungeons at level. This on my freshly 70 two weeks before wrath came out team. So they were not in spectacular gear - all quest greens and blues. This was also my first boxed team, so I was new to lots of stuff and still wasn't very good at it. As I went through northrend getting more quests and upgrades, I had no problems at all doing any of the dungeons at level except Anub Arak in azjol nerub, which took me quite a bit to learn and really sharpened my skills as a boxer I believe.

When I dinged 80 in my fresh greens and blues, dtk, cos, and gundrak (skipping frost guy) were what I farmed to start. They were extremely easy. Eventually as I got more confident in my skills as a boxer, I did all the rest.

Flash forward to my new 5 druid group that I just brought up. I did the daily random every day because it rewards 2 emblems even if you're sub 80, and never got a dungeon I couldn't do. Once they dinged 80, I also had pretty much no problem doing any random heroic I got in just my blues and a few crafted purples because I know the dungeons so well now, I know exaclty what has to happen even if my gear is garbage.

If you know the dungeons, it'll make up quite a bit for gear. I would not suspect that you would have any trouble doing dungeons at level in northrend. And since you already have a team at 80 and now how heroics are, I would bet you won't have any problems once this new team is 80 jumping into heroics.
