My guild is at 121 mio GP and we have cleared heroic 9 times already. Our first time clear was with 116 mio GP. I like the challenging aspect of the heroic version. Unlike T6 it's a matter of 3 hours. You run one or two teams per phase, wait for your guildmates to catch up and then continue.
T6 version of the raid on the other hand is a time sucking fun drain. I was dedicated at playing it to get as much practice as possible and have an advantage later on in heroic over less motivated players. It paid off but T6 is really no fun. P1-3 are ok. You can clear them within two days.
P4 is the most annoying part in T6. You can kill DN in heroic with 2-3 NS teams. In T6 DN has 50 mio HP. Unless the majority of your guild has great NS squads which we didn't have at that time, P4 alone will take 2 days. This is too much. It might have gotten better with Zombie and Talzin being available to farm.
So bottom line:
Heroic = yay.
T6 and below = meh.
I can fully understand the frustration about the sith raid. Heroic is comparably well designed IF you have the right teams, while the lower tiers just have too high HP levels. The bad part is that heroic is very restrictive in viable team compositions. On top of that JTR is the only way to go in P1. So if your guild doesn't have 25 JTRs, you're stuck forever in the non heroic tiers. And they suck badly. Just glad this part of the game is gone for me.
Another point are the rewards. While you get at least one full g12 piece in the heroic version if you rank in the top 3, T6 can't keep up.
Sure, you get g12 salvage but the numbers are just so low it's hard to justify the amount of effort.
