Simple enough: Whenever we can handle it. The gear in here is a higher ilevel, but the bosses are also harder too. If we can't clear Vaults, we probably can't clear HoF either. We might still be able to get the first couple bosses down and the better gear would be worth it. It's hard to say how we would do until we try!
I think it's worth going in and giving it a shot. My suggestion is to do Vaults this Thursday. We can clear at least 4 bosses in there and get gear out of it. Then on Monday we should start in Heart of Fear. We'll get an idea of how ready we are.
Also, the first three HoF bosses should be available in LFR today! I'm planning to hit it up tonight around normal raid time, 8:30-9:00. The more of us that go the better!
Matticus suggests that the first two bosses in HoF are maybe easier than the end of MV. WoWProgress numbers might support that:
Mogu'shan Vaults
Stone Guard: 26689 (97.75%)
Feng the Accursed: 22908 (83.91%)
Gara'jal the Spiritbinder: 19329 (70.80%)
Four Kings: 18069 (66.18%)
Elegon: 9988 (36.58%)
Will of the Emperor: 8852 (32.42%)
Heart of Fear
Imperial Vizier Zor'lok: 8242 (30.19%)
Blade Lord Ta'yak: 5641 (20.66%)
Garalon: 3093 (11.33%)
Wind Lord Mel'jarak: 1843 (6.75%)
Amber-Shaper Un'sok: 996 (3.65%)
Grand Empress Shek'zeer: 833 (3.05%)
The case could be made either way, how many of those 8200 guilds were the same guilds that were clearing Will of the Emperor the previous week? On the other hand, that's one week of HoF vs 4(?) weeks of MV.
I hear Garalon is rough even on LFR, with enough PuG angst to require several tries and groups quitting.
Nice stats there Muta! I think we should at least have a peek into HoF to see if we are able/willing/prepared to do this as we don't want to kill 4 bosses and hit a road block and not have somewhere else that we MAY be able to progress in. Just my thoughts!

For Science!
I will join you gladly for this Skarn! I think I just hit 470 ilevel so should be fine (you need 470 of course for this LFR!)

WoWTrack paints a similar picture.
