Look at how high Cuba is.
Both Blue and Azure; Malygos 10. Shamans should be able to do it by now.
Drake of the North thingy; Vortex Pinnacle.
Slabhide; Stonecore.
Black War Mammoth; Archavon.
Amani War Bear (How can anyone not have this already?)
The three "World" mounts; Poseidus, Aeonaxx and Grey Riding Camel ... need lots of luck, but still possible.
Blue Qiraji; Archeology (very tedious)
Sandstone Drake (gold)
Spring Strider (Easter stuff in a few weeks)
Twilight Drake - Sartharion (not sure if 10 or 25 but not really hard to get anyway)
Time-Lost Proto Drake (just fly around every now and then)
Leaving out most of the raid bosses and achievements that's still a lot.
you can't really solo wotlk Bosses as a Shaman, tried already; and the dropmounts require one: luck... i usually don't have it... only did the new ZA time run a few times before i said "screw this"... always ended up loosing the roll
and some of them i have NEVER seen drop
Yeah well you need patience, ofc.
And yeah you need a lot of skill to solo higher stuff as shaman.
Only seen very few shamans be able to pull that off; but you can always go with one or two friends, that opens more possibilities for even more mounts.
Sartharion with two or three people should be no problem at all.
Hell, even Al'Akir is possible to kill with three persons.
Seeing how the situation is, aren't they ready to cut you some slack on this? I mean, I actually believe you can do it, I wouldn't say otherwise if I did not, but this seems like too big a thing for them to just go "Well, read and learn, baby. Dealwithit.russianpony".
No, but Seely's seen only very few shamans soloing ... and judging from the comments and such he's read it's significantly harder to solo the same stuff that e.g. warlocks or hunters are soloing.
Plus it requires huge amounts of patience which you don't seem to have, judging from the mount stuff.
Seely doesn't have all that much either, though.

well, after running each instance felt 100 times, seeing the mounts never drop (and i would only go there for the mounts...) and if they dropped some guy in greens and blues (who usually got the instance achievement at the end) always won them...
and it's because warlocks and hunters are the noob classes... they can solo pretty much everything thanks to "lol pet"
