If I can't get the Iron Juggernaut as a mount I'm going to be disappointed.
By the way, judging those mechanics (the adds and all) in Garrosh encounter, I'm pretty sure the fight won't take place in Grommash Hold.
No, it looks like a large portion of the raid will be in a totally new area labeled "Garrosh's Compound". The work-in-progress of the zone was shown in one of the links earlier in the thread.

If the parts and bosses listed are the really raid sequence then I am really confused.
How does this work? Players getting a autopopped quest then go to a NPC X reporting vales are ruined, we zone in the insance, we fight, wipe, fight, wipe then loot. A wild NPC (say Vol'jin) runs in, yelling "Garrosh has done it, he must pay what he has done to this scared land!" then we all ported to Org? This just doesn't work....
I don't recall any previous raid separates wings on two different continents.
Before you get onto Deathwing, you have an airship ride + boss encounter. The 5th boss is a giant protodragon apparently, we might get another airship ride back to Org where we encounter that beasty.
Or we could just portal there, whatever, it's cool. There's portals all over the place in Pandaria.
So with this raid it marks 33 raid bosses, not counting the world bosses which makes 37. Any news about 5.4 world bosses?
Ruined vale part as a separated raid like ToES would be fine. The purpose of the SoO is to overthrow Garrosh (and loots of coz), starting from Pandaria diminishes the urgency of the raid.
I still think horde starting from Razor Hill and alliance from Bladefist bay is a better idea.
Oh well.
Apparently the Dungeon Journal lists the four Celestials (Xuen, Yu'lon, Chi-ji, and Niuzao) as 5.4's world bosses.
Also this guy:Chi-Ji, The Red Crane: The trial of Chi-Ji is a test of hope. Uncertain of the future of his people, Emperor Shaohao sought out the great Red Crane. The Great Crane challenged Shaohao to find the hope within himself, and cast off his uncertainty. Once the Sha of Doubt was vanquished, the Emperor became a beacon of hope for his people. To pass the trial of the Crane, warriors must believe in hope, even in the darkest of days.
Yu'lon, The Jade Serpent: The trial of Yu'lon is a test of wisdom and faith. With omens of a bleak future floating through his mind, Emperor Shaohao climbed to the summit of Mount Neverest to seek the council of the Jade Serpent. Yu'lon urged Shaohao to cast off the dark emotions that plagued him, and through his trials, Emperor Shaohao would become one with the land. To pass the trial of the Serpent, warriors must be wise in their choices.
Niuzao, The Black Ox: The trial of Niuzao is a test of bravery and fortitude. When Emperor Shaohao was overcome with fear, the Black Ox counseled him to face his fears directly. After a protracted battle with the Sha of Fear, the Emperor emerged victorious. To pass the trial of the Ox, warriors must be resolute in the face of overwhelming danger.
Xuen, The White Tiger: The trial of Xuen is simultaneously a test of strength and a test of restraint. When Xuen gave Emperor Shaohao a 10-foot-pole and asked him to strike one of Xuen's warriors, the Emperor could not land a blow. For without restraint, anger and hatred run wild. To pass the trial of the Tiger, warriors must harness their power, while burying their thoughts of violence.
(From http://leviathonlx.blogspot.ro/)Ordos, Fire-God of the Yaungol: Ordos was once a shaman of the Yaungol who sacrificed himself to the flame, following the promises of the Fire Lords, in order to become a demigod. His flesh is eternally seared with fires, putting him in endless agony. Yaungol Fire-Keepers ritualistically set themselves ablaze to emulate the ascension of Ordos, and cast enchantments and prayers to ease his pain.
