Mechanically, perhaps. I suppose it's "embarassing" to fess up to it, but we wiped (twice) to VR despite knocking over Gruul and Mag. I have little doubt we will shortly be taking his epics, but for a casual guild making their first/planning forays, make no mistake - the trash will take time to learn, just like SSC and Gruul's trash did. There are a large number of pulls (two and feels like a half bosses worth), it will take time.
I had hoped to go in with an hour spare after Gruul/Mag - I believe the trash respawn is 2 hours? I'd certainly set aside that much or a little more for a first expedition... if that's not a little trite for "generally accepted raid practices" anyway. I thought it bore saying, since reading all these posts, I felt a
slight disconnect.
Of course, that may be more "redundant" to a more hardcore guild (when you have 4-5 hours a night, 2 is not as significant an investment as...) as opposed to "vital" to a casual (when you have 3...) one.
