From what i read when looking into this it is suggested that a heartbeat isn't required any more from SQL 2008 onwards?
Yes but when running the cluster validation the report will still bleat about not having a separate network!

If this isn't recommended would another network card on each server on the same VLAN configured with a private IP (192.x.x.x for example) be enough for the heartbeat? obviously this would be set to Cluster use only?
A separate network would be advisable as you only have 1 Nic available
