Someone could raid casually but be very good at the game and someone could have a hardcore approach to the game and not be very good. I've definitely seen plenty of both.
To my mind, when you're referring to a content being casual/midcore or HC, you're referring to a difficulty level

when you're referring to statics, you're referring to both a schedule & skill level

finally when referring to someone, I think it's best to use the time investment (even if you'll find "HC casual" and "Casuals HC" this way)
