Heart of the Aspects
Just like its pet counterpart, the drop location of the Heart of the Aspects is unknown, but it looks pretty awesome. It is most likely linked to the Chromatic Champion achievement in higher difficulties of the Madness of Deathwing encounter.

Life-Binder's Handmaiden drops from Madness of Deathwing (last encounter of the Dragon Soul raid) in Heroic Mode. People defeating Madness of Deathwing in normal mode will be rewarded with Reins of the Blazing Drake.

Darkmoon Faire Mounts - Dancing Bear and Swift Forest Strider
Two mounts are available at the Darkmoon Faire for 180 x Darkmoon Prize Ticket, the Darkmoon Dancing Bear and the Swift Forest Strider.

Access to the Next WoW Expansion Beta Test – Get a guaranteed spot in the beta test for the next World of Warcraft expansion (at a time to be announced in the future).

You can pay for the WoW Annual Pass on a monthly basis at $14.99 per month or according to the billing plan of your choice. To participate, you must be 18 or older, have a valid credit card, and have registered a full version of World of Warcraft on or before October 18, 2011.

Worgen Racial Mounts
Worgens finally get their racial mounts, the Swift Mountain Horse and Mountain Horse! Other races can also buy them if they're Exalted with Gilneas, the vendor can be found in Darnassus and as far as I know only two colors are available: Brown for the Mountain Horse, Black for the Swift Mountain Horse.

Season 10 Mount Reward - Ruthless Gladiator's Twilight Drake
Gladiators of the Arena Season 10 will be rewarded with a shiny Ruthless Gladiator's Twilight Drake.

WoW TCG - Swift Shorestrider, Corrupted Hippogryph, White Riding Camel
The WoW Trading Card Game adds 3 mounts to the game with this patch.

Swift Shorestrider is from the Throne of the Tides TCG Expansion, released in October 2011.
Corrupted Hippogryph is from the Crown of Heaven TCG Expansion, released in March 2012.
White Riding Camel is from the Tomb of the Forgotten TCG Expansion, released in May 2012

Other Mounts
A few of the mounts do not have drop locations yet.

The Spectral Gryphon and Spectral Wind Rider are speculated to be Blizzard Store mounts but nothing really points toward that direction in the game files.
The Swift Lovebird is a reward from the Love is in the Air world event, costing Love Token x 270.
The Reins of the Twilight Harbinger is a reward for completing the Glory of the Dragon Soul Raider achievement.
Experiment 12-B is now known to be a very rare drop from Ultraxion (Normal / Heroic).
Swift Springstrider is now known to be sold during the Noblegarden event for Noblegarden Chocolate x 500. It is also a rare drop from rare drop from Brightly Colored Egg.
