Did timed with a pug (me as tank, prot warr in naxx10 gear), disc healer was really well geared (think it was t8 and ulduar/naxx25 stuff), 2 dpsers where horribly geared (dk and rogue), quest greens, s2 epics, unenchanted - the works) and one dps had good drops from heroics, mainly blues, but all gemmed and enchanted (hunter).
It went surprisingly well anyway, no wipes and i was pulling last street thing like a madman...i was blitzing through the whole instance like no tomorrow, dressed in threat gear, using retaliation, recklessness and everything i could as soon as it was off cd to speed things up. Fought the dragon-man-thing that drops the dragon, but he left at about 50%. Pretty darn close.
Recount (from 2 people) said something like this: Hunter 1800 dps, tank (me) 1750dps, rogue 1000 dps, dk 800 dps. rather low, yet we almost made it.
Has the instance been nerfed? I have tanked several timed runs with me LAST on the dps meter, running kust as crazy, barely making it...or even barely missing it. I was under the assumption that you needed imba dps, but that doesnt seem to be the case.(anymore)
The instance must have been severely nerfed.

Not as far as I can tell. It's more about how fast the tank and healer can recover while constantly pulling. It also depends on how lucky the placement of the first 10 waves are. It could be possible that the variation of starting locations for each wave has been changed, which could be considered nerfing.
Also, an 80 DK with a Worn Dagger and running naked can do better than 800 dps. I suggest you have him killed and his parents slapped.

All there is about the place is not wiping. If you don't have to run back from graveyard, you can get away with horrible dps - been that way since beginning.

I am pretty sure heroics such as CoS, Azjol Nerub, and Drak'tharon keep have been nerfed. I remember them being significantly harder when Wrath was first released. That or it may have been the tier 7.5 I acquired from naxxramas.
Either way, it would be nice to know if nerfs have been documented anywhere.

Few factors that may have made you think they nerfed it:
1) You got more geared since your last run
2) You ran with a powerful healer
3) You may have gotten lucky spawns.
For #3, the locations of where the patrols and bosses spawns is completely random. Sometimes you get lucky and they all spawn in the beginning area, and thus you don't have to run around. If you get a lucky streak, you can get to the house with plenty of time to spare.

This reminds me of a time when I went back to H Nexus to run it after doing a bit of raiding. Hadn't done the place in a while, got some major upgrades for me as well as my guild. We ran through and I swore we had it on Normal mode. Had to check a few times to make sure we had it set to Heroic. With some decent gear upgrades, we were flying through the place with ease.
