Soloing Old Raids and Instances

I know there was a thread that touched on this a few months ago, but I've gotten into it lately and was wondering which old raids and BC heroics are soloable and which require 2pc T5.
I've personally cleared ZG, SP, UB, SV, Ramps, Bot, and MgT so far without any T5.
I got to Epoch Hunter in Hillsbrad, but he destroyed my pet. I was using a tenacity pet though, and I think it could be possible with a ferocity pet with Lick Your Wounds and Heart of the Phoenix, but i havn't gone back to try that yet.
I think BM is doable, but i havn't quite been able to pull it off yet. It's so hard to recover if anything goes wrong.
I would imagine that the T5 would make both of those pretty trivial.
I havn't attempted anything else yet. Which one's are reasonable?

Eh, it depends what you are doing. Some of them are quite hard.
I died 6 or 7 times yesterday during my first foray into MgT before i finally got through it.

Pls let me know how do u do the ZG Tiger God... Was trying to farm the mount there several times, even with a shamy friend and all the time running into the problem of separating them so the priest doesnt heal and at the same time killing them within the 5 sec (or 10 ro whatever it is) time span so they wont ress each other... How can u single man this?
Its not that hard acctually, let your pet tank, keep mend pet up all the time and just kill them. Its damn annoying that we cant interrupt all the healing that one of the mob does, so it might take some time but it really worth it if you get the mount :)

OK first the legit way of doing it.
Make sure you have a Gorilla pet and put it's Pummel ability somewhere that you can access it very quickly. DO NOT leave it on autocast. Before you pull, make Lor'Khan (the healer) your focus so that you can see her cast bar... you need to watch it the entire fight.
Send your pet in and MD a multi-shot onto him. Burn down the two tiger adds first... they die very quickly. After the tiger adds are down, take Lor'Khan down under 50%. When under 50% she will only target heals on herself.
Once Lor'Khan is under 50%, start working on Thekal and Zath, while always watching Lor'Khans cast bar. As soon as she begins to cast a heal, interrupt it using Pummel. If she manages to get one or two off at this point its OK.. just immediately switch DPS to her and get her back below 50%.
Just spread your DPS around until you get Zath and Thekal down to around 10% or so. Switch back to Lor'khan and take her health down to the same point, and then Volley them all down. It is, however, absolutely imperative that you interrupt her heals during the last part. If you miss one, you will fail.
Phase 2 is extremely easy.. tank and spank.
Now for the reallly easy way of doing this.
There's a glitch that allows you, when done correctly, to fight just Thekal in phase 1 with no adds making this fight an absolute joke.
To do it, put your pet on Stay + Passive and leave him under the first archway where you initially come into Thekal's area. Throw an MD onto him and run up to the 2nd archway near the boss. Shoot the boss, wait for all of the adds to get to you and then Feign Death. If you did it correctly, Thekal will continue running to your pet, but all of the adds will go back to the altar.
If you failed and the adds didn't run back, you most likely either had your pet in the wrong place or you hit FD too soon.

@izuul wtf is MD?
Uhh, seriously? That is one of the most commonly used abbreviations in hunter lingo.

MD = Misdirection
Hunters that raid and don't know about it have no business raiding.
