Kuan and Viljo finally just Decided they were going to run Heroic SH. It was the daily, and we need that quest formerly-known-as-TK-attunement-prereq.
We got a resto shaman and swords rogue from our guild to go with us, but the tanks were busy. Right as we were about to give up, Viljo struck up a conversation with an SSC-geared tank in front of the Scryer bank. Don't ever lose sight of the RPG aspect of the game! When you are in town, talk to people nearby! He was happy to tank for us, for the same reasons we wanted to go.
We tried to beat the timers, but none of us had tried the instance on heroic before. Up to the first boss it's about the same, then the timers start and the differences, too.
• there are assassins at the start of the gauntlet
• there is a mini boss, with badge, at the end of it
• sheep have a giant aggro radius, near the Centurions
• the two headed ogre boss, actually, seemed easier
• Kargath cleaves twice in his charging around
• there is an executioner past Kargath. We didn't beat the timer; I don't know if he has a badge.
Even though we did not beat the timer, we did clear the instance for 4 badges, the daily, and a good learning experience. Very confidence building, as we have also recently tried Heroic Arc, albeit with an undergeared pally tank and mage alt, and couldn't down the first boss at all.

The assassins are random, they are not definitely at the beginning of the gauntlet.
The miniboss is heroic-only, yes. He's not that hard though, but definitely harder.
I hate the ogre, on both difficulties.
The executioner has a badge if all the prisoners are still alive. He has primals and pots if some of them are still alive. He's the one with the quest item.
Heroic Arc ... don't use the first boss as an indicator. The tank really needs shadow resist if any of the rest of the group is undergeared. The knockback he does is brutal, so having good positioning is important.
Yeah, the assassins respawn randomly - after every wipe you need to go back through in a group, which is SUPER fun when you're trying to beat the timer.
What wendy said about Arc 1st boss. I've never downed him, though I've always tanked myself with a mere 180 SR or so. The bickering pair bosses are much easier.
The bickering pair of bosses is funny, in Arc.
Do they both have badges on Heroic?
Yes, they both have badges. Arc is a 4-badge run (6 if it's the daily).
