Did you used thunderclap and Demoralising shout ?
Did you spammed shield block ?
Your gear is not perfect yet so yes, you'll take a lot of damage. Don't forget CCs for your 1st heroics.

You might want to get uncritable before anything.
Thank you for making this point, I was afraid I'd read through all the replies and not see this mentioned even once. If you are crittable, you aren't ready for heroics. Consider it a hard cap. Several of the suggested upgrades will get you there (not the stamina upgrades, although those are also important), but please don't take an unsuspecting and generally stupid PUG through a heroic without 490 defense. It doesn't need to be
over
490, but it must be 490.

485 actually, 490 is for raid levels.

The 490 (491 if you want to be precise) number is for mobs that are 3+ levels over you. You'll need that high of a defense rating to push the critical blows off the combat table. It's not a bad idea to get as close to that number as you can. It's pretty easy to do with quest drops and such. After that, your best bet is probably pushing stamina. There are a few camps that will advocate avoidance over stamina, but that will be a personal choice. Personally I think that in the beginning its better get stamina up there, but there is a definite benefit to your avoidance stats.

i think you have a nice starting set for heroics. you're one point of defense short of uncrittable (
485 for heroic bosses
which are level 72, not 73) - follow the gem advice above and you'll get there. but you're better geared than me when i started and i didn't struggle too hard. i think i was about 475 defense with some resilience to cover me.
some easy upgrades while you're waiting for good drops:
your belt is very weak - get
this one
don't waste +12 gems on those shoulders, just get
these
second piece of
PVP gear
that is tank approved
nightstrike
- this one is a drop, but i love it
crafted
, cheap on AH usually
and yes, it's normal to take a lot of damage in any heroic - that's why it's a heroic. wait until you take a couple hits from the felguards at the end of bloodfurnace - i don't care what kind of gear you have, they hurt!
