so, after realizing a few characters ago that almost nobody wants to team up with you and do heroic missions, or flashpoints, i decided to do a bit of an experiment. i leveled my current character up to level 33 before i started doing any flashpoints or heroic missions. i figured that with a higher level, i could go back, and just do them myself without needing a team. i am currently correct. i figured level 33 was a good place to start going back, because by this point, i had missed out on a lot of xp by not doing heroic missions, or flashpoints, and all of the drones that i was going up against were level 36... (i was mostly able to get this far by using the sith assassin and sneaking passed most enemies instead of fighting them) so i decided that i would try some flash points. i did look for a team for hammer station and found one person who was willing to play with me, but when we actually got into the mission, i found out that i did not even need that other person. those puny level 16 enemies could not even scratch my armor, let alone threaten to kill me. i didnt have to stop once to loath and regenerate my heath. after that, i could not find anyone to do the next mission, so i went by myself. i experienced the same effect. they could not touch me, and i was a beast. i havent tried much more than that, but i think if i go back and do the heroic missions, i will have the same result.
IN SHORT
in order to stay at the same level as your enemies, you NEED to do all of the flashpoints and the heroic missions. they provide valuable xp that you will miss later on in life. but, if you really dont feel like waiting around for a team, and dont mind a challenge, build up your level, and go back and do them by yourself.
