Yeah it's available. Nobody has any idea how to get it though. They specifically said ret Paladins and (insert other spec I forgot here) have fun hidden artifact quest lines. So, I have no idea how to get it, but the holy hidden artifact is in so I'd assume this is too.
I'm sure people have done it already, but what if you take the original skin Ashbringer to all the points in the game in which it's mentioned? Dire Maul, Nat Pagle, Scarlet Monastery, Old Hillsbrad, Naxxramas, etc?
I'd love to think this will be a very detective-like thing, but in the end I'll bet it's not so involved.
Well, the Ashbringer was originally corrupted when Renault Morgraine betrayed and killed his father, Alexandros, as he faltered in a moment of exhaustion in Stratholme. Perhaps relevant?
Steve Irwin died the same way he lived. With animals in his heart.
I'm following this on multiple threads now because I find this to be interesting and fun.
Another person in one of them just posted that these where added recently.

Some people (including myself) have reported getting some whispers while questing in Suramar. I believe i was in Felsoul Hold when i heard a whisper tell me "Put you faith in the light" slowly. Someone else reported "The Ashbringer", also in suramar.
No idea what triggers it as i was just running there and got freaked out. And we know corrupted one whispers to wielder of it.
Also, some posting about boss in emerald nightmare, i really doubt that, as Heart of Corruption is reward from quest that we do in Acherus Hold, quest called Walking in Shadows, that we probably get somewhere else. So no, Heart shouldnt drop from Heart, as its quest reward.
Now... how and where do we get to walk in shadows? Or where does some NPC walk in shadows?

This also - http://www.wowhead.com/spell=221224/reform-book. Been running around checking various npcs to see if they'll combine them.
Did anyone check Naxxramas? since we could Corrupted Ashbringer acquire from there, who knows.
Alright, after rechecked the story of the blade, possible dungeons/raids and locations tie-able:
Blackrock spire (Morgraine found the crystal there which became the orb in Ashbringer later)
Ironforge (Magni bronzebeard forged it)
Scarlet monastery(Morgraine's son Renault made the blade corrupted, he was resided in the original monastery)
Outland, David Wayne (rumored to be Morgraine's unnamed son in disguise)
Sunwell, Muruu (The original dark crystal was presumably a darkened Naaru core originating from Oshu'gun)
Outland- Oshu'gun (same as previous)
I checked David Wayne with both books in my inventory last night. Didn't have any dialogue options. Didn't see anything in Scarlet Cathedral or Oshu'gun either.
I wonder if you check some of these areas while dead....echoes/memories, maybe?
I'm thinking about forces that could corrupt the weapon once again, since the skin is basically about the blade being corrupted again.
Not a paladin, just wanted to come in say, Holy Hell Guys, this is amazing. I love reading about this investigation work. As a Vengeance DH i am honestly a little bit envious that your skin comes from something more than kill generic boss. I have linked this thread to my Paladin friend and he is definitely interested and seeing where this goes.
Sorry to not contribute but seriously guys, good luck.
We live in an era of "me versus them", an era where something is done that you don't like means you are personally attacked. People whine too much.
Let us play video games and be happy.
