Edit: Credit to my wife, EvilWife720, for helping me discover and confirm most of these Heroics. Credit to Mr. Croft and vvaldd for helping me add some more information regarding the Blight, Ritual, and Integration events.
Atop of giving much more EXP for levelling, Heroic Events also give more loot, and higher chances at more valuable loot. Certain Events have a Heroic version, which can be triggered by meeting certain requirements. Below is a list of the Events I have found. If anybody else can confirm additional Heroics, comment them below and I will add them to the list.
[u]Cabal Excavation[/u] destroy the Thresher ship, then kill the boss.
[u]Fallen Walker[/u] Every time the Walker loses a leg, it will drop 3 orbs. Use these orbs to unlock the Scorch Cannon pads around the area (2 orbs per cannon pad) unlock all 3 Scorch Cannon stalls to trigger the Heroic (hold down the trigger on the scorch cannons to charge them up. After roughly 6 seconds, they are fully charged and deal 4x damage)
[u]Ether Gathering (giant servitor)[/u] kill every Servitor that the boss summons before he consumes them. (be careful, as his Servitor Grasp turns into Servitor Fall, and teleports ALL participating players high into the air. DO NOT LAND ON THE SHIP, just use your jump near the end of your fall to break the fall)
[u]Cabal Intelligence[/u] Destroy the heat vents on the top, middle, and very bottom of the lander before the final boss appears. Vents only open after a Psion has been killed, so you'll have to soak some of the burn damage (warlock Healing Rifts can cancel out the burn damage completely).
[u]Fallen Glimmer Drill[/u] Each site has a small glimmer vacuum near the drill beam. Destroy all 3 vacuums and defend the glimmer pile.
[u]Taken Blight[/u] Step inside of the blights to gain a debuff, which will allow you to attack the giant blight. Destroy the giant blights. It takes a lot of damage to kill, so be ready to unload everything you have.
[u]Hive Witches[/u] After killing the two witches, continue standing on the two pads when the gate opens, and destroy the 2 crystals on the pillars.
[u]Vex Integration[/u] watch the conflux closely, and follow the streams of light to the three platforms that you need to capture. capture all 3 platforms as soon as possible, without letting any Vex sacrifice at the conflux.
Thanks to everybody for helping support this post by keeping it trending, and sharing it amongst friends and clans. I'm glad to see that this information is coming in handy. Already, I've noticed a change in how random blueberries take on the events.

Bump. Apparently more people need to see this still...

Great post! Thanks to you and your crew!

This is a good post. Not like that other one by the guy complaining about people not knowing what to do.
-
This needs to be shared across the cosmos, about half of the people that join a Public Event I'm in screw up the Heroic activation somehow. [spoiler]48.99% to be exact.[/spoiler]

I had no idea about that Thresher ship..Thanks..

Just wanted to throw a big thanks out there. Didn't realize how/why some had been heroic. This has been most helpful. Possibly the most legitimately helpful thing I've read on the forums to date. Again, many thanks.

Its nice to see a constructive post helping people amidst the shader madness (shaders are fine). I can confirm the hive wizards one. Stand on the pads, kill the wizards. This will allow the crystals above the gate to be shot. Shoot these and you got yourself a heroic.
