They take roughly an hour for my group of guildies who have zero raid gear, average item level around 346. A little longer if it's our first time through and we're learning some harder mechanics, faster if it's a repeat.

Good group - 45 mins - 1:15 depending on the instance. (some are longer than others).
PUG - I have had some excellent pugs, and we blast through in 45. Others were you can wipe time and time again due to screw ups.
Once you have a good healer/Tank and 1 strong dps - no worries. There are several boss fights, which can be done tank/healer. Even the last boss in TOT Phase 3 can be soloed by a dk.
Give it time (and gear) and we will probably see the 30 mins again for the current heroics. (new content heroics will be at the 1hr +)

In heroic level gear with a good group that knows how to do the fights, you'll breeze through in 45 min or so. I agree there. However, if you're not geared yet and/or don't know the fights, it can take significantly longer. Anywhere between 1.5 and 3 hours seems to be the norm for inexperienced/pre-heroic geared groups.

In a guild group, most cata heroics are in the 45-minute range. I'd guess that drops to close to 30 minutes once everyone is in raid gear.
Excellent, that's what I wanted to hear!
This made me feel better too. Now, I want to actually go try them. Before, I was afraid of the unknown.

It is 30-45min in a pug already. I was afraid of heroics by reading the forums. I tried it and i complete heroics without trouble. 1-3 wipe at most if at all. All pugs.

You have to have an average item level of 329 and have physically been to the dungeons (just like normal)

To run them successfully, you have to have an average ilvl of 340 for pugs, give or take, according to the makeup/skill/experience of the rest of your group.
