The Kosumoth mount should at least not dismount you when you're at the surface. Most annoying thing ever.
In areas where you can fly, the Geosynchronous World Spinner travels at 310% while partially submerged in water.
Notable only for looking kinda cool.

I like the idea of hovering mounts being able to Water walk. It felt weird just cruising around on the Cloud Mount only to end up with my face in the water. That river beast swim speed idea is also rather good as well.
What's the point of that then? Who would drop a large amount of gold to upgrade a mount with Water Walking if they can just continue to use the Water Strider or, failing to have that, grind out the rep to buy the Water Strider and use one of the new easily grind-able swimming mounts in the meanwhile?
Hovering mounts should fly above water.
Water walking should be exclusive to DK and Shamans (and professions like alchemy or eng.). Stop giving everything to everyone and then scream on forums that everything is the same and boring.
When a player quits EVE and goes to WoW, the average IQ in both games increases.
Just increase all mounts' swim speed to +60% of normal run speed, I'd be happy enough with that.
Furthermore, I consider that China must be destroyed.
In addition to just a gold sink it should be a useable sold by the Anglers on Exalted for some thousands of gold which enables all flying mounts to use their flying animation at 200% speed (ground mount speed) above a water surface. Ofcourse this should only work for characters lvl 98 and above. This way low level characters have to keep using the water strider for water walking so the mount itself doesn't become obsolete, but allows higher level characters to use some more variation. The only downside would be that most ground-only mounts won't get as much love as they get now when not using a water strider.
