Can you farm heroics? Multiple Heroics? (since they've got a 12h raid timer on them)

I was full on planning on farming heroics for badges / gear / etc. So far I've been unable to do so. So I've been farming normal instances for gear so I can take another crack at heroics.

In all the farming I've done of normal lvl 70 insntaces I've accomplished:

4x 375 Leatherworkers (bought mats through gold earned from instances)
Bought 4x Hurricane Boots plans
Had 7 Primal Nethers drop
All four of my Shaman have made the Netherstrike Bracers
One of my Shaman has made the Netherstrike Belt and Huricane Boots.
One of my Shaman has made Living Earth Shoulders (Resto gear).
All of my Shaman have leatherworking drums, and use them (chain casted...)
(My tank took the other 4 primal nethers. 2x went to epic blacksmithing boots, other 2 are going twos lionheart blade upgrade.)

I've also maxed out enchanting and almost jewelcrafting (from gold made from instance runs).

So... is Leatherworking worth it? YES. Make the gear, then buy badge gear for the other slots. Using drums is a serious increase in DPS - and the ability to fear in PvP is awesome. :P

what Fur said.

That is exactly my plan also. Using a mixed approach of Pve/Pvp/arenas and crafting I'll get full epics of one kind or another on all my chars much quicker than one single approach.
