I've heard Marksmanship works quite well for bosses in general, as its single target damage is quite high now. For trash, if you want it to go fast you can specialize Survival, but you can also grab a Worm and go specialize BM or something like that.
I'll go review the bosses and get back to you on which ones would be too difficult to solo due to mechanics.

I was thinking the same myself, but I really want to use my BM spec a lot more (let alone being able to use really cool pets). The one boss I can think of that would be virtually impossible is the Oculus boss, and anything which would require a lot of Add management.
I've actually realised I had done more of the dungeons in both normal and heroic than I first thought, but I still want to try for the fun/challenge factor, maybe even pick up some other achievements along the way.
Go nuts then. It shouldn't be particularly difficult.
If you choose BM, I recommend grabbing a Spirit Beast for party damage-intensive fights.

It's true that MM is a smart choice for boss fights, but not because of DPS; people were using MM before 4.0.6 buffed it back into relevance in terms of DPS. Rather,
MM provides a steady stream of self-healing thanks to Chimera Shot,
without you needing to find one of several highly sought-after rare Ferocity pets and then using said rare as a tank without crit immunity.
EDIT: I forgot to add a shameless plug for a recent addition to my stickied pet guide; it can be found
here
:)
I highly encourage you all to review this, and provide me with some feedback!
I am fully aware of that fact as well. I've seen the solo vids.

From personal experience I can say that with a Marksman spec with 2/2 Rapid Recuperation and 1/2 Rapid Killing, the Skadi fight is very easy. The adds that spawn in the gauntlet will give you 50 focus if they die with those talents, meaning you can just burst them down with Chimera and Arcane shots and end up with a full focus bar.
In my opinion Marksman is the best soloing spec at the moment (with the stamina talent from Survival and the healing talent from BM). It provides self-healing, an interrupt, a cooldown reset and it has got the highest burst at the moment (Rapid fire coupled with Aimed Shots).
Haven't done too many LK heroics yet. Mostly a daily Skadi run for the mount and I got the achievement for doing the first boss in Azjol Nerub (kill the boss with all adds up). I did the achievement as Survival at the time with a PvE spec and a bear as pet. It should be considerably easier with a MM spec and a beetle/turtle.

Heroic UP was easy as MM, used a turtle for tanking pet. Had to skip the second boss though, I couldn't get the event for him to start.

I know there are some WotLK heroic achievements that are impossible to solo, but I'd be interested in knowing which ones are soloable, seems like there might be a decent amount. I've been doing H UP every day for about a month now w/ Surv spec and a Turtle, I take out the adds in about 2 pulls and then kill Skadi usually right before or during his second whirlwind.

I previously quit WoW before completing many of the WotLK dungeons on Heroic (or even normal for that matter), so would like to go back and have a go at soloing them for the achievements. I dual talent BM/SV, so which would be best (or got to MM?) and which pet should I use? Anyone else tried this, any particular boss gave them trouble?
Cheers,
Cula
Edit: for clarity, I meant dungeons, not bosses specifically
Best single target pet for tanking...turtle. For multiple targets? Bear. And if you REALLY want to solo. go get as two piece T-5 set of gear. hunters are soloing some CATA dungeons with it.
