Id say you got it right on your list though Ive found heric crypts to be quite easy each time ive done it. Perhaps being a resto druid rather than another healing class may be a big factor on that though, atleast on the first boss. So id personally list it under 'medium'.
In my experiences as a healer (shaman team isnt in outlands yet) the hands down hardest heroic ive had to do was probably the last boss of arcatraz just because there is so much dmg in that fight and its kind of random (or the first boss in arc, the voidwalker guy). Shattered halls is pretty rough too but for the most part the bosses are actually pretty easy, they just hit harder and its a really long instance (but worth 7 badges for a full clear, which is a ton)
For shadow labs the hardest part of murmur is paying attention and moving eveyone in and out of the ring at the right time, The first boss is just meh, blackheart is a luck factor and the summoner is just a dps race. The big pulls before blackheart are a bitch without CC though, the biggest check there is get your kill order right and burn the extras down super fast or you will get stomped.
IMO the easiest heroic Ive ever been in has been ramparts with the exception of the last boss. Who isnt bad if your tank is geared and stacks FR and sta since he doesnt hit that hard its just his breath attacks that hurt. Id almost go so far as to say the second boss in ramparts has got to be the easiest heroic boss ive ever killed I think. UB was always a favorite of ours too but our tank was also able to tank both bog lords before ungerfen at once, if that gives you any idea on his gear lol. heroic SP is pretty easy too because you can skip the ones you dont want (like the 2nd to last boss).
There are some good recommendations here, and one of the best ones is don't try to clear a whole instance your first go. Going in and downing the first boss in several instances still gets you some badges and its easier while you gear up. The second tip was farm, farm, farm those regulars to death. I have a love/hate relationship with blizzard changing the faction requirements for heroic keys. I hate it because now 70% of my heroic pugs have been epic fail. But I like it because I have geared up some of my characters from sources other than normal instances (crafts/boes/dailies/pvp) thus Im geared enough to do them but far from the revered requirement they used to be. That being said reaching revered with a faction is a good indication that your gear is probably pretty decent. If your team are fresh 70s or you just hit honored your not going to be doing much in any heroic. Its also true that most of the time what makes herics harder than normals are the trash pulls not the bosses. Shattered halls and Shadowlabs' 5-7pack pulls are in this category and the un-CCable twins in sethek as well. Where they were already kind of hard in normal they are pretty bad in heroic but the bosses are about the same but simply hit harder.
*edit* massive typos lol
