Easiest Heroic First Boss? (cata dungeons)

Just trying to get a feel for the easiest heroic dungeon.
So far I've done the first boss in Lost City, and succeeded. But we failed miserably on Lockjaw.
From my experiences in 'regular' mode, I'd guess HoO and perhaps Stonecore. But thats purely off of regular mode dungeon runs.
Advice for starter heroics for people geared slightly above the requirement to queued?

In terms of
gear
, you're probably right in saying Stonecore is easy. Most mechanics are pass/fail. There are no punishing enrage timers, no huge damage to heal through (that is possible to heal through), just one-shot mechanics.

As a tank there are a few things which make fight easy:
- Little manouvering
- Few/No adds
- Steady hitting bosses, not spikey damage
- Low AoE damage (means healer will be abel to focus you)
Easy bosses
- BRC 1st
- BRC 2nd
- BRC 5th
- TotT 2nd
- VP 1st
- VP 3rd
- DM 3rd
- HoO 3rd (anraphet)
Hard bosses
- GB 2nd (especially if you're healer can't dispell & you have no-one who can disarm)
- DM 4th
- SCore 4th (voidzones, knockback, rocks, adds - lots to keep track of simultaneously)
- TotT 1st (geyser, water wall, 2 caster adds, 1 melee add)
- BRC 3rd (Fear = no block/dodge/parry - especially bad when a pup or two get killed)
Those are the ones which stand out in my mind. There will be some you find easier and some harder than others, you might be awesome at manouvering, but crap at collecting adds up or visa versa. If you are a competant tank, and know the fights, then none of the bosses are particularly difficult, much of it will also depend upon both the healer and DPS.
If the DPS can avoid bad stuff, healer will be bale to focus you, if they are fast, the healer won't go oom, if the healer can dispell fast/pre-empt incoming damage (the latter being important for you - particularly spikes) then you should have no major hiccups.
Anyhow, have fun!

IMO the easiest boss in HC has to be the first one in DM - that said, Magnerz is right - none of the bosses are like crazy hard, once you understand the fight...

Our group has around 5k dps avg I'd say. As a pally healer(I'm not tanking much in cata yet) I seem to feel overwhelmed quickly by aoe dmg. Thank god for Holy Radiance, but beyond that, I simply can't do enough HS/HoL to help.
I do know our group has a bit of learning left for CC. I think the last week we've done very well, so I'm hoping to get them into Heroics here soon.
I'd like to thank all who posted their comments above, as I truly do appreciate the no flaming feedback.

DM and BRC probably have the two easiest first bosses.
Overall, BRC is probably the easiest heroic. You just need the right cc on Beauty and someone who can kite well on the last boss. The first two bosses are easy and the third and fourth boss are easy if you have the proper cc and kiter.

All bosses on HSFK are easy.
First is Interrupt-a-fest.
Second and Third is Kill adds when spawn and get out of stuff in the floor.
Fourth is Move on green, stay on red, get out of falling ice path.
Last is kill adds and get out of cone attack.

I find the first boss to be the hardest thing ever for my battlegroup, whenever I PuG or do it with my guild we wipe like 3 times, then in the end me and heals at 1 hp kill it. But on the other bosses we just faceroll em.
