- I see no reason that enchants other than Black Magic (such as +63 Spellpower) should be worth more than 10 points on any Mage spec now. BM is stronger even than +81 SP to a staff. ...

Your gear score puts limits on what you can do. A player in all blues, no matter how skilled, cannot meaningfully contribute to Icecrown Citadel - the game mechanics won't let them deal enough DPS, or they'll run out of mana as a healer, or as a tank they'll get one-shot.

The gap between Black Magic and say 63SP is significantly more than the gap between 63 and 50SP; this should be reflected by adjusting the value of all other enchants.

Whilst I'd agree with that on some of them (say H UK), in my experience some of them (H HoL, H Occ, H AN) require more gear than OS10 or even OS25 as well as requiring more skill. H OK also has a DPS gear check at one point, albeit a pretty lenient one (that boss that hard enrages if you can't do ~4800 group DPS to a particular add)
I've also found several PUG groups will refuse to take characters without the [Superior] achievement even in groups for the easy heroics.

When players look up their info pre-level 80, they are directed to instances that offer suitable challenges and gear.
Now that my second toon is 80, I'm being directed not to Heroics but instead to Naxx, and was even before I used the AH to gear up a little. Although I may just be able to pull my weight in Nax10 now, when I dinged 80 I certainly could not have.
Any chance that you could assign a recommended gear level to each WotLK Heroic and add it to the list? I'd like to know if, for instance, my gear and that of guildies is good enough for the tougher heroics like H HoL and H Occ.
