It may have taken me 58 runs, but it paid off. That's right! Kael'thas finally dropped his Swift White Hawkstrider for me last Thursday! YAY!
It's very reminiscent of the Chocobo from Final Fantasy...but I digress. I'm so excited that it FINALLY dropped. I'll post some screen shots here in a few minutes.
You know, if he wouldn't have dropped it during that run, I would have been frustrated. It wasn't a normal run for me. I had just updated my spec for feral tanking and I didn't have the AoE damage reduction in kitty form that I normally had. I was taking damage from his stupid phoenix like you can't even believe! I switched to bear in time to hit frenzied regen and pop a few other cooldowns to stay alive, but I never did manage to kill his phoenix before the Anti-Gravity phase...
The damage that bird dishes out isn't fun. I found myself spam healing myself til I was oom during the first anti-gravity phase, so I never got a chance to take out his phoenix until after the second liftoff. Once I landed I killed the phoenix egg and then after the third round I managed to take out Kael'thas. Phew! I was pretty close to dying, as you'll see in the screenshots.
The fight didn't go as smooth as it normally does, so...being the superstitious bear I am I had a feeling he was going to drop something cool. I just didn't expect it to be the mount. Anyway, enough blah blah about the fight. Here are the screenies:
wow another nice mount ! you have had a good couple of weeks Des !!

I have been incredibly fortunate in my mount drops. I should write a nice note to a random GM to thank them for RNG not hating me so much recently =)
