I was excited when my guild was able to down all the normal level raid bosses in Cata and worked extra hard to get exalted with my guild to get the Dark Phoenix mount because it looked really cool, Also, since I am a shadow priest, a big part of the choice for mounts is how it looks in shadowform, since everything looks better in shadowform. However, I am very disappointed with this mount's look in shadowform. It is near invisible, you can barely see it. The only things that are actually in shadowform are the phoenix's helmet and breastplate, the rest is very very transparent.
