Heroics still have a lockout?

The 1-day lockout for Heroic dungeons is still in place, but will only be triggered if you specifically queue for a dungeon.
Heroics you do through the Random LFD tool are exempt from the lockout system, and will neither trigger a lockout or obey lockouts already in place.
ie. If you had already done End Time by specifically queueing for it, therefor causing the 1 day lockout for that dungeon, and you then queue up for a Random Dungeon with the LFD tool, you'll still be able to get End Time as your Heroic.

Ah really, I didn't know Random LFD still triggered the lockout for said dungeon through specific queueing. Thanks for the correction.

/sigh If you run the dungeon through a specific choice, or go into it on the server, you will be locked. LFD does not lock you to your server specific version of the instance.

Patch Notes from 4.3.0
"Players who use Dungeon Finder for a random Heroic dungeon will no longer be locked to that instance. Previously, players who entered an instance via the Random Dungeon option were then prohibited from queuing for that dungeon or entering the instance manually via the portal. Players should now always be able to complete a specific Heroic dungeon once per day regardless of any random dungeons completed."
Hopefully that clears up the confusion. Before 4.3.0, if you randomly queued for a dungeon and happened to get Halls of Origination, you would then be locked for Halls of Origination and not be able to specifically queue for it (though you could randomly get it again through random dungeon finder).
Now with 4.3.0, you no longer get locked out to Halls of Origination if you randomly queue and get it. You can randomly queue, run Halls of Origination, and then when you get out you'll still be able to specifically queue for the dungeon.
