Special new mount revealed to be, ummm, "special"

Ok, so I have to chuckle a little at this.

First, just so you know, "YES" I will most likely be fishing my brains out looking for this, even though I think it's silly.

I mean, hey, free mount!

But realistically, even though the colors are nice etc.  Notice the tooltips and what the testers have been saying about 


Ok, anyone else somewhat under-whelmed?  

So here's the official check-off:

Pros:  Ummm, looks neat, probably won't be that many people with one, if you're not a druid with the swim speed glyph then this is as fast as you'll ever go in water and uhhhhhhhh. .. .. 

Cons:  Ok, how much time do you actually spend swimming, and here's the kicker, when you WANT to be swimming?  The rest of the time, this thing will be as intoxicatingly rapid as a gang of caterpillars inching their way up a wet rain gutter in a mist-storm.  For those of you keeping track, that's about 3.1% less exciting than watching paint dry, and about 14.8% more exciting than watching grass grow.

Neutrals:  I guess if you ever really wanted to block a mailbox, have a Tauren on one of these babies, and have another one on his Travelling Mammoth, and you two could keep people who don't know how to zoom in their cameras from checking that mailbox until you get bored and go do something useful with your time, like watching painted grass grow and dry.
