Swoop Animation on Flight?

[Scunosi]

Just doing some late-night Arching, and I'm noticing my flight form a lot more. It seems whenever I turn into a bird, I do a little forward swoop/flap thing. Has this always been this way? If so, haven't noticed.
Speaking of forms, who's hoping they'll get our Moonkin forms in this patch? Finally? Maybe? Hopefully?

Seems to only happen (or be noticeable) when I'm standing still, if I'm moving while casting it the animation either gets run over or doesn't happen.

i think that animation was always there

and no no moonking forms in 4.1 or 4.2 or 4.3 itwill have to wait until wow 5.x.x

That animation is new yes, not sure why it was added but I don't mind it :-)

Noticed this too the other day. So I'm not crazy...

/mountspecial and you will do it manually on demand. This also works for most flying mounts and almost every land mount with a roaring animation. I made it into a macro.
