That being said. Looking at your malkorok kill, your raid has the dps for the first few heroic bosses (although your brewmaster should pick up his damage by a sizable margin, and get rid of that godawful juggernaut trinket they're using.)
Immerseus can probably be 4 healed and still beat enrage, protectors can be 3 healed and the enrage will be fairly irrelevant, and the damage output won't instagib your raid unless you miss inturrupts on gloom. Norushen actually does have a fairly decent enrage on it, and I imagine it would be tough to 3 heal with your raids dps, but you do have the two best tanks for going down and clearing their add really quick so that they can run around and soak orbs. Sha of pride is mainly a "don't die to stupid" fight and you'll meet enrage... it might get a little dicey below 30% as to whether or not you'll kill him before your entire raid is mc'ed.
I'd say clear 14/14, reclear to get a time estimate on how long you need to full clear normal, then anytime you have left you should put into heroics.
