Leveling in 7.3.5

No, I don't have any heirlooms. That's partly what baffles me about this patch. I don't see how anyone can finish these dungeons without heirlooms now. My team is in BoP blues - most within a level or two of my character level - and I cannot put out enough damage to kill bosses with a timer mechanic. There is a boss in Blackfathom Depths - Bathiel. I can't even come close to beating that boss. His self-heal phases come way too quickly for me to burn him down. I wiped on him until my gear broke, and never got him down to more than maybe 50%. I'm running a protection paladin, holy priest, and 3 BM hunters. Every gear slot is a BoP blue, as I've been level-locking and running instances until I got the drops I was after. Now, with this patch, I can't do anything.

I would honestly love to see a video of a group finishing that fight in greens. I don't think it's possible - but maybe I just suck that much.

I can imagine higher-level characters may have it easier - possibly - just because they have more tools at their disposal. But I have no heirlooms (I have maybe 1500 gold total across 5 accounts) and am only level 43. And these instances are freaking brutal - and I can't just gain a level or two and then come back. If I do, they'll have scaled up and will be even harder than they were before. I don't see how new players can do these without being carried by someone else.

Any boss with a timer mechanic is almost unbeatable for me now - because I can't pump out enough damage with only 3 DPS.

Why don't you just quest? Do you not like it?

If it's just the difficulty you're having with said boss, well that's part of the fun boxing!

Then how would normal leveling queues beat those? Seems like it would be obvious to blizzard as almost nobody would be completing dungeons anymore.
