Heroics are just random monster formations (that are a bit rarer I think?) just that they're bosses instead of monsters (and spawn lone instead of a pack).
For example, Quov Tsin.
When you enter stony tomb, you search the entire tomb for 2 reasons:
1: QT teleports everywhere, so all the tomb needs to be cleared beforehand.
2: To look for a good spot to summon him.
However, QT sometimes already spawns in the tomb without the need to summon him, in this case you can either fight him or make new game to summon him properly.
If QT didn't spawn and the tomb is clear, you go to a good spawn point and start spamming dark summon until he appears.
You know it's QT because he has unique name, heroic shield (aka full immunities) and he fires a lazorbeam and trinity novas.
