The man who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself

I forgot to add this to my update post and a couple of you who follow me on twitter may of seen my tweet. With my prot paladin slowly becoming my favorite toon to play I felt I needed something a little more out-standish on him rather than his normal flying and snow gryphon. I spend most of my day on him, running heroics for guild mates, powerleveling lowbies in instances or just flaunting his 163,400 unbuffed health. Even with all that being done...I felt like he was still just the lowest form of an alt...until this happened...


I was tanking a daily heroic for a couple guildmates' alts and managed to get Stonecore. We had no problem breezing through, killed Slabhide with no issue, looted him, saw two windows pop up, one had purple writing. I intially thought, sweet, a BoE world drop, someone is gonna make some coin. Then I realized it was Reins of the Vitreous Stone Drake. At this point, my eyes lit up, this was exactly what I needed. Fortunately, a friend and guildmate won the roll, as he was on an alt and a druid, he willingly passed the mount to me. I was ecstatic and couldn't wait to be done just to go blow 5k on epic flying and learn the mount. 

Even out of all the mounts I have across my account, my Rusted Proto with a top 100 date, several old school mounts, this one is by far my favorite and does a wonderful job at making my paladin feel all the more important....now if they'll just fix the damn mounting on it....
