    Heroic dungeon difficulty sorting

    Hi people...

    I am soon going to be a healer, but when I DING 80, I rather would like to start from the end when healing, so I want to start with the easist heroic dungeons and then continue to more difficult heroic dungeons. So make a list with the heroic dungeons in difficulty order, sp you write the easy ones first and then later to the harder ones. These are the current dungeons in WotLK: http://wotlkwiki.info/index.php/Dungeons

    EDIT: Make it from a healers point of view

    Ohhhh.... thats a toughie...

    violet hold and occulus can easily be the hardest one in my honest opinion......

    but the random factor in violet hold can also make it one of the easiest......

    pretty much occulus takes the cake on hardest heroic

    Utgarde Keep isnt as bad as long as you can keep your tank up during phase 2 on the last boss fight....

    Utgarde Pinnacle is pretty much a cake walk as long as your group can do enough dps to stop bane.... if not, bane can hurt.....

    Nexus.... really the only thing you watch out for is on the frost nova the last boss cast...... most of the fights are pretty much the same, except you have one more boss in the frozen corridor

    Occulus..... really is always going to be a bitch.... i wipe here more often than i do pinnacle

    drakthron keep is pretty easy, many of the fights are the same.....

    zuldraks.... only bitchy part is the stampede which happens faster and more frequently....... i have less trouble on the last boss to tell you the truth......

    Old Kingdom..... Let's see, one extra boss, just stand under mushrooms.... and of course, the bitchy hysteria is still there

    AN..... last boss fight is a bit healing intense........

    VH.... cake walker till void boss is loose... etheral boss is a bitch with orbs.......

    HoS... pretty much the same fight.... just the tribunal hits harder......

    HoL.... hate this place too, compare to Occulus, Occulus is only slightly harder imho..... Last boss is the one you have to watch for...... His aura actually hurts if you stand too far......

    All of Time and Space, Everything that has happened or will happened, Where do you want to start?

    I suck. That being said I think Violet Hold is pretty easy. UK was also a really good one for stating out.

    Different people will find different ones easy/hard, mine are: (within categories, easiest -> hardest)

    Easy: UK, Nexus, VH, DTK
    Medium: CoS, AK, Gundrak, HoS
    Hard: AN, UP, HoL, Oculus

    I can agree with this, although I'd but AN in medium. It's honestly not that hard and HoL is REALLY easy if you do the last boss a simple way. UP and Oculus, though, are indeed quite hard.
    HoS is a bit harder, I think, especially the escort and the final boss.
    The snake boss is the ONLY thing that makes gundrak hard but just like Loken in HoL, a good strategy makes him pie. The rest of the bosses are pretty much tank and spanks.
    Old Kingdom is just *annoying* and long. That's about it really. Not that hard.
    You know, even Oculus isn't that bad. Just get 2 red drakes, 2 yellow, and 1 green and that final boss is like throwing boulders at a glass window. But groups I do it with always do seem to have a hard time, for whatever reason. New concept, I guess.
    This would be my order.

    UK -- Nexus -- DTK - HoL -- CoS -- AK -- Gundrak -- AN -- HoS -- Oculus -- UP\

    Something like that. (Yes, I find HoL extremely easy. *gasp*)

    The OP wanted a ranking for a new healer hitting 80. In that case your ranking is way off.

    Basically, in a nut shell.

    Least to most difficult from a fresh 80s healing perspective, although it depends on what class op is.

    DT Keep, Halls of Stone, Nexus, UK, Azjol-Nerub, Stra, VH, Oculus, Halls of Lightning, Gundrak, Ahn Kahet

    All the talk about oculus is dumb, it is not a challenging instance to heal, though you could argue that none are, oculus is quite easy even relative to others. It is dependent on the rest of the group to not be an utter retard not just the healer, although that fact still makes me put it pretty high on the list anyway.
