One of my guildies just hit 80 today and was able to queue for the bosses so I don't think there's a gear requirement.
just comepleted this on EU realm (Wildhammer) with me (Killanator) leading a 40man raid which was insane before we started because FPS was like 9 for me um the event was cool bit quick because like 300 ppl in stormwind our raid was bit split up round each district but i managed to get them to start in dwarf town and work our way through each district finally getting docks last then i got group together mostly my guild did the dungen bosses few times to see all loot drop and got quests before started to attack bosses after that turned in quests to ironforge and stormwind guys pretty cool event if u have lots of ppl with u but i wouldn't suggest soloing the elementals because with 315k of health and there always being 5 of them around at once u will get overwhelmed

This is nice of Blizz to give us some welfare epics for the upcoming expansion :-)
There is no gear requirement, my 78 Druid could queue for the bosses and roll/win the epic loots.
You do not need to be in a raid to defend the city and/or get the elemental buffs. You can queue for the bosses after defense is complete either through the portals or by using LFG.
So have we figured out which major lore characters defend each city?All I know is:Orgrimmar: Garrosh Hellscream, Rexxar, and Vol'jin
