How is the XP on the "Heroic" difficulties of the new pack? Is it worth buying just to have something new to run in the inevitable horrific TR grind at 18-20?

The XP is just as atrocious as any of the other quests at that level, but at least there's more quests to grind through. It's on par with Dreaming Dark XP.
Seeing as how the content was released with known bugs, I can't recommend buying it til it's at least working. The only thing worse than going through a quest for terrible XP is not being able to complete it due to a bug and not getting any XP.

Meh, probably won't bother then. Why the devs think that the most xp-intensive part of the game, unless you're grinding out all the EDs, deserves the least amount of xp is beyond anyone sane's understanding.

They probably think players are going to get a lot of xp running the raids at level, whereas in reality the players can't wait to trivialize the raids by bringing as many lvl 25s with max EDs along even if it nukes their xp.

Pretty much this. With the grind to 20 being even more of a stepping stone to endgame now, it would have been logical to assume they'd try to make it easier to get there, but the devs don't seem to share that sentiment at all.

The base xp is 2500-3500 for each of the 4 quests on heroic elite. That said, they can be fairly quickly if you have an experienced group that knows what it is doing. I could see these being worth doing for first time bonuses on heroic, but that is about it personally.

That is ridiculous for any high-level heroic quest...I guess these will stay off my leveling plans.

Neat. That's what I get from level 4 quests on an elite streak.
:/

This.
Especially in a game where you can gear a toon out in full epic regalia and that toon never has to step foot in 95% of the content that gear is coming from.

And you pretty much HAVE TO bring over level characters to even low level raids. Raids at level is pretty much impossible. However, at that point the loot isn't good enough compared to lootgen, so you end up with a situation where raids are only run for TR twink gear and favor.
I can't think of any reason to run any raids anymore.
Except Tempest Spine, that one is surprisingly doing well.
