I've been playing a windwalker as my main since they came out due to the amount of mobility offered by the spec. I like fast/mobile things *shrug*
That being said, I'd have to say no to the actual MOUNT version of DH wings, and here's why:
-Yes, Illidan flew around on his wings during phase 2 in black temple, but VERY slowly. These are not natural appendages, but a fel mutation. They will not be strong enough for 310% flight speed.
-Flying around on wings at 310% flight speed would just look a little strange. I don't want Aion in Azeroth, plus I don't see a player's wings carrying them just as fast as a dragon or rocket would.
-Druid flight form is a specific class fantasy that should remain unique to them, just handing it out to everyone leads to homogenization.
Now, what I WOULD like to see instead of that would either be:
-A zen-flight type ability to fly at very slow speeds. Not a replacement for mounts, but a matter of convenience that builds on fantasy without seeming too "out there".
OR
-My personal preference, the ability to hover in place while slowly flapping your wings. It could be incorporated as a combat ability (double jump and vengeful retreat into the air, freeze in mid-air during combat for a few seconds while you unleash a fel barrage). Some may say this would be too powerful against melee in PvP, but the amount of ranged abilities you could use are fairly limited, plus rain from above is already a pvp talent that works similarly, it's just a shame that you can only use fel lance from the vehicle interface while you slowly fall down (instead of actually hover).
