Is the PVP gear enough to do heroic dungeons?

Can someone tank, heal or dps in a heroic 5 men dungeon in PVP gear without any difficulties? I think of the casual players as myself, who still wishes to have some PVE fun.

I think you could use it for DPS kit, in fact, I know a lot of people do (and as I understand, it's frowned upon), but I wouldn't recommend it for Tanking anyway. The mitigation and health are a little on the low side for PvE HC content.
To be totally honest, a far quicker way to get started on HC's is to make a few hundred gold before you hit 80, buy all your armor off the AH (Tempered / Spiked Titansteel and Saronite gear for example), grab a weapon from 5 days at the Tournament, and just muddle through with that.

Tank:
Probably not, some PvP gear is fine, but the effective health is too low compared to PvE/crafted gear to be used in bulk.
Heal:
Depends on the spec, gear and tank in question. Most PvP gear lacks the mana regen required for more intensive healing. (ToC)
DPS:
If you are hit capped, fine, but itemisation is wasted. Your DPS wont be the best it could be.

DPS can get away from it. Back in BC I know of a warrior tank that got away with it, but I've never seen a healer that can handle with pvp gear in PvE since they always ran oom if something doesn't go smooth.

PVP gear is more than good enough to do heroic 5-mans.

I see so many posts asking about gear for heroics. Unless you're tanking you can pretty jump into most heroics at 80 with your quest rewards. You don't need to be well-geared.
