Investigation into missing spell haste gem cuts is "underway," says blue poster Syndri
So when patch 2.4 came out, you might remember a certain line in the patch notes: "Added several new tradeskill items to the new Sunwell Daily faction vendor: Three jewelcrafting recipes to cut gems with spell haste from Dawnstones, Talasite, and Noble Topaz."
Here's the problem: Those recipes actually don't currently exist anywhere in game, or at least haven't found their way to any Jewelcrafters. You can find Quick Dawnstone, Reckless Noble Topaz, and Forceful Talasite on all the WoW item database sites, but the recipes themselves seem to have gone missing, and aren't on Eldara Dawnrunner, nor do they so much as appear to drop from any mob.
Don't worry though, Jewelcrafters, all hope is not lost.
Fedora of the Bronzebeard server asked about this issue on the Customer Service Forums a few days ago, and was told by blue poster Syndri that while she could not give him an answer as to the fate of the recipes, but that Investigation would be ongoing. It seems rather strange that Blizzard just forgot a whole list of gem recipes that specifically made it into the patch notes, but it's good to know they're aware of it.
Who knows, perhaps someone moved the recipes to Shaani, and we'll see them once Phase 4 opens up and people turn in enough Razorthorn Root. If nothing else, hopefully we'll get word soon as to whether the recipes were removed from the game altogether, or they were simply forgotten or moved to a different vendor.
[Thanks for the tip, Marinna!]

If it goes like the spellfire-cloth for engineering goggles or cut-citrine for golden hare disaster we can expect this to be fixed in October or November.

I thought these recipes were supposed to be on Shaani.

I got those cuts from the hyjal rep vendor so my guess is that they'll be available once you unlock phase 4.

Are you sure you got those cuts? Specifically the Quick Dawnstone recipe? I've been asking people if they have it (now I know why they don't) and most people whisper back yes, then link the Quick Lionseye recipe, which is NOT the same. 8 Spell Haste Dawnstones are far cheaper, for some gear I'm testing out, rather than using Lionseyes. Check, make sure you know what you're referencing, then post again.

@ Don57428, you didnt get these recipes off the hyjal vendor, you got the similar epic ones. That vendor only has the epic (lionseye, pyrestone, seaspray emerald) patterns the blue patterns do not exist in the game files or they would be on the wow database sites.
Yes, Im the one mentioned in the article.

Thank you, finally, someone clears this up. I've been linked that Quick Lionseye recipe a thousand times while asking about the Dawnstone Spell Haste gem...
