You can lie and say you did it on your main, usually if they pug you they want you to be experienced or have proof of a kill.
best way is to say you are on an alt though imo.

So far I haven't really even had the opportunity. It's not like people msg me and have a conversation with me... on oqueue I am clicking on wait list and just not hearing anything. In trade chat I am entering what I am 'looking for,' so there isn't an opportunity to lie my way in lol.
I haven't tried openraid before.

Shouldn't there be lots of groups nowadays looking to get AOTC achievement before 6.0? Maybe after 6.0 date is announced.
Try openraid?
The problem is probably ilvl. Its almost impossible to get into a group without massively overgearing the content which is not possible if you are catching up as a new player without a guild to boost you.

I'm currently a 557 BM hunter... I'd think that's high enough to get in to at least some of the groups, but perhaps I'm 6 months out of date haha

Use Openraid. I'd ask one of my old guilds to run you through but we switched to Alliance :|

you could try making your own group too, make sure they have the kill(to ensure you get people who know what they're doing)

Do I have to invite people who are 13/14 like me, only?

not really
if you're RLing your own groups, as long as you don't die to stupid shit that usually kills most pugs (iron star/annihilate/not interrupting MCs/etc), it's very easy to put together a overgeared group capable of one-shotting with oqueue, openraid and other raids.
it gets easier on the weekend, since most guys have done their guild's main raids by then, so find a 580 tank+solo heal, stack both phases and go nuts
edit: question for people in the WoD beta - how much easier is HM SoO at level 100?

I don't understand your response. What I mean is, if my raid status says I am 13/14, and I invite someone who is 12/14, and we both enter the instance together, what happens?

well, you didn't specify lockouts in your first post.
both of them will zone into 13/14 regardless of who enters first

So the 12/14 guy can skip the 13th boss and jump right to the 14th? I haven't tried it but that seems weird to me.
Sorry for coming to this discussion with such a limited knowledge, but I just have so little experience with normal mode raiding that I haven't encountered these situations before. Fortunately I know enough to realize to look into these types of things prior to putting together a group of 10 random people and realizing I am doing something wrong and wasting everyone's time. Perhaps you can understand why I'm hesitant to RL though :p

Yes that is correct, you can skip bosses if you join a raid from a RL who is further along.
Note however that others who join are only saved to the new boss # if you kill a boss.
So say your 12/14 joins a 13/14 raid and they fail to kill Garrosh the 12/14 is still saved to a 12/14 raid. Only if they kill Garrosh will he be saved to a 14/14 raid.
Heroic works differently from this tho with regards to ID. You can only ever be in 1 Heroic raid ID. So if you join a Heroic raid and clear 13 bosses you cannot join another raid from a different group to kill the 14th boss. You can only enter a raid with people who were in the original group or people who are currently not saved to Heroic. And this saving happens when they enter, not when a boss dies so a new person entering this raid would have 50sec (there is a popup for it that lasts this long) to get out to be saved to 13/14 heroic.

just make sure you specify when you're pugging that you are doing garrosh only

Yea I would put into chat "557 Hunter LF Normal SOO @ Garrosh" or something like that.... on OQ I would click on groups that are 13/14. I extended the raid lock because I currently care more about finally finishing normal SOO than I do getting more loot next week.

You could be vague to the effect of
"Hunter LF group Garrosh only, geared/experienced"
don't mention you don't have good gear(not sure if you do actually :<) or that you don't have the achievement for best results.
