Reacting and planning for that takes a whole different mindset. What looks good on paper can usually go very, very wrong when it comes to things that are actually threatening. You have to do that rotation while avoiding far more damage and stuff that actually kills you, more than it does in normal.
So yes, you may know the rotation better, but there will always be that "easy say, hard do" cloud hanging over your head that makes you very hard to listen to for someone who actually does play difficult content. Talking about it and doing it are two different things. It's why, in general, I don't really take people who haven't actually done the content very seriously.
(BTW, overall, 10/14 heroics isn't very difficult now! But my point still stands, again I'm not saying you're wrong, but I figured I'd explain why I feel people are right not to take someone seriously due to their progression)
