I have 619 spell damage with 0 spell hit with my current gem setup although I can easily reach the hit cap if i lose about 25 spell damage. What kind of gear should I have before stepping into heroics?

Drop the 25 damage to cap your hit first off, its worth a lot more damage output than you're losing from doing so. I seem to remember I first did heroics with about 700 bonus damage or so. Couple of crafted epics and random blues really.

According to wowwiki.com, I don't need even 1 spell hit until I fight mobs that are level 73, and then I need 76. Are there level 73 mobs in heroics?

Not sure about 73. You certainly get level 72s in there. So some hit would be advisable

If you have the talent points spent to increase your chance to hit with spells, I don't think you need any additional spell hit from gear if all you are fighting is level 72 mobs. However, I'm curious as to what gear you are wearing as a lot of the best in slot gear for us has spell hit on it, like Spellstrike for example.

With the 10% I get from talents I do not need any hit whatsoever until I encounter a level 73 mob.

My gear is just a random assortment of instance and quest blues. Every socket I have has a +7 spell damage gem in it. By switching the gems back to the spell hit and spell damage orange ones, and swapping out one piece of gear, I'm able to hit the spell hit cap by losing a little stam, int, and about 25 spell damage.

I'm just looking for some numbers to shoot for before trying to LFG for heroics.

Usually the lvl73 mob level is set as a guideline for raid bosses which have the skull instead of a level.

So no, you shouldn't be seeing any lvl 73 mobs in Heroics. A quick npc search on wowhead for all lvl 73 mobs confirms this.

Edit:Heroic instance bosses will all be level 72 however...
