The difficulty you see right now is nothing but an attempted road block for all the hard core no lifers who blizzard knew would hit 85 on launch day, to keep them from progressing through the raid content within the first week.
Once the no lifers progress to the raid content, blizzard will nerf heroics in a massive way, in a single patch.
They are not stupid (from a financial perspective) and they are not going to lose 70% of their subscribers by keeping heroics at the difficulty they are right now.
