I spent two years on and off farming with friends for the White Hawkstrider for my Dwarf Paladin, and I finally got it the week before Cataclysm launched. I have the Baron's mount on the same character - funny story, at the time it dropped, I was actually trying to complete her dungeon set 1 collection, only had the legs left, and the mount actually dropped before the lightforge legs did! :P

My gf and I also started farming the ZG mounts on every reset about four months before they were removed; only saw one mount drop the entire time, the Tiger, and I let my gf have it because, despite how much I wanted it, I knew she wanted it even more. (And karma, which I think is 50% of the reason why I finally got my Hawkstrider after giving her the Tiger, lol!)

On an aside, the friend who always went to H MgT to help me farm for the mount spent all of that time trying to get the Orb of the Sin'dorei. It never dropped for him in all that time, and he finally got it a week ago. Yesterday, he ran it again for old time's sake, and both the Priestess and Kael dropped one. Ain't that a you know what? lol
