If I'm setting up an lfg heroric raid group to get it done, I will be requesting 390+. No excuse not to level up first to be more useful in the raid.
The lfg groups that I have been in with like 4 players under 390 in their upper 380's have been awful experiences wasting several hours of my evening. The lfg groups with everyone over 390, we can sail thru the checkpoints for the most part.
I have been willing to help those that are not 390 yet, but I'm at the point that if I see several under 390 players trying to do hard raid, I will not participate or will swiftly boot them if I'm setting up a group. With all the ways available to level up, there is no excuse to not be at least 390 if you want to do the hard raid.
If you feel you need to be carried because your too lazy to do Archon's Forge like everybody else does, then stay away from lfg and find your own friends to carry you. Did I miss anything?

Meh, whatever floats your boat. I'll tell you this though, you can beat the raid easily with 385s. I beat it last night, and only one person was 390+ when we played the two phases for Aksis. We had no problem doing it either. It was a breeze for the most part... pretty chill group too. No one being jerks and threatening to kick or anything. We beat the last Phase in like 2 attempts. I was actually shocked that it was as easy as it was with that group. Before I got in with that group for Aksis though I played with a few different groups to try and beat it and there were a handful of people that I played with that were 390+ that couldn't play for crap and couldn't get it done. They would just quit too. Heck, I'm not even 390 yet, only at 389, but I've beat the raid and have held my own and did my part. You can tell if you're in a good group or not. the difference between 390 and 385 isn't really all that much bruh....
