Congrats! That's great to hear. I'm sure I will be getting into heroics soon. As you mentioned before, it is different in this expansion with all the different ways to gear up.

My first team of ten is between ilvl 619 and 627. I've yet to set foot in a heroic or even a regular level 100 dungeon. I'm not raiding Highmaul yet, but my followers are starting to. They get a mission called "Highmaul Raid" once you get a group of them to (follower ilvl) 645. They give your toon a piece of ilvl 655 gear when successful.

Don't get me wrong, it isn't like the follower game leads to instant free 655 ilvl gear. It has taken me a good amount of time to get my followers leveled up to that level and it could be that spending my time in heroics instead would have yielded quicker results. Heroics definitely require more skill to accomplish. However, I've been enjoying managing each toon's little army from the comfort of my garrison.
