I think the Rangari Corral is the best choice here. Although the tank is cool, it's on a 10 minute cooldown. With the corral you get mounted combat (including looting) with no cooldown which is a huge speed boost in terms of leveling.

To clarify the description for any druids wondering...

It says something like "Increases your speed to 100% in Cat and Bear form"

I just picked this up and now cat and bear form move at 200% (ground mount speed), even while stealthed.

Probably the best thing since sliced toast for feral and guardians out there.

Upon recive the quest A Choice to Make

This quest gives two choices.
The choice you take should reflect your role, Melee or Caster.

Corral = Allows Combat while Mounted, (Instant, but cannot cast spells while moving) Best for melees.
Tankworks = Allow Heavy Pressure Damage, while whithstand high dmg. (best caster choice).

**** Rangari Corral:

Consider: Works like the Garrison Stable daily mount does, but you cannot cast spells while moving around.

Allow any melee + instant spells to be used while moving "on talbuk-mount"
Allows Druids: Feral & Guardian to move at 100% speed at all time. (Nagrand).

For a Druid "Feral" aswell "Guardian" your Shapeshifted form will be moving at +100% speed, like your mount.
Recommendation: Best choice overall for...

Melee Classes.
Feral & Guardian (recive 100% movement speed in shapeshift form).
Hunters - Abilities counts as "melee" for some wierd reason.

If you use Telaari Talbuk and then clicking to use your Reins of the Azure Water Strider, your (Corral) Mount will now walk on water.

**** Tankworks:

Consider: 10 minuters Cooldown @ Infinity Duration = Until HP depleted "killed"
- When the Tank dies, its cooldown starts of its 10 minutes.

Health: 97,900 - Fixed (not scaling with ilvl).
Recommendation: Best choice for any Caster...

Warlock
Mage
Shaman - Elemental
Druid - Balance
Priest - Shadow.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of Patch 7.x - Your best choice will ALWAYS be Corral
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats what i have to share for now, More updates if something changes!

Edit: Added abilities to "Tank" and Recommended choice for Caster & Melee.
Edit: Confimed Demolishers HP and Duration.
Edit: Forgot to add "hunters" into Corral.
Edit: Updated for smoother layout regarding specific class trait for each Corral representative Tankworks.
Edit: Updated some text to understand the purpose better & a nice trick with Corral mount + Azure water strider.
Edit: Updated Best Recommendation for Patch 7.x.

Maybe it's a bug... but a good one.

If you choose Rangari Corral you get the Frostwolf War Wolf with all benefits of on mount combat and mining/herbalism.
Once mounted on your wolf, click on the Reins of the Azure Water Strider mount (Nat Pagle MOP)
You will notice that you are still on your wolf with all its benefits...but now you can also run over water.

Don’t know if this is also valid for the Alliance Telaari Talbuk

Comment by seasaint7

If you live on a pvp server, take the corral! If you have a stealth ability, you can use it mounted.

Comment by Etreum

Once you have chosen, it will cost you 10,000g to change it, so chose well!

Comment by 896446

In case you're having a senior moment like me... If you choose Rangari Corral, the Telaari Talbuk reward does not appear in your bag, or your mounts tab, and you can't find one to mount in the Corral itself. Instead, it becomes your "Garrison Ability" spell for the Nagrand zone. It's probably already a button on your action bar.

It has been mentioned that this applies to Cat and Bear form, so it's really great for Ferals and Guardian Druids. You will know it is working (aside from going faster) by the presence of a Buff.

Some things about that buff:
1. It works with stealth in cat form, and the new werecat form.
2. It stacks with Dash, Darkflight and Stampeding Roar.
3. Yes, 1+2 above mean that you can go faster than epic mount speed, in cat form, while stealthed. Pretty ridiculous.

4. Sorry, Restos and Boomies, it does not work with Travel Form. That means that Travel Form is slower than Cat Form or Bear Form.

5. Taking damage removes the buff. Shift out and back into Cat/Bear form and the buff will reappear instantly.

Comment by lazypt

If you choose Corral, the buff stacks with Dash , Stampeding Roar and Cat Form aura, the Cat Form

Comment by Eilyria

Hunters can feign death while mounted, and also use camouflage. In addition, you can fish from this mount!

Comment by akedalmans

Just a comment for Druids.

Balance spec + Glyph of the Flapping Owl + Frostwolf War Wolf makes for epic avoidance of fall damage!

You can mount your Azure Water Strider while riding the wolf for waterwalking if you dont wanna flap away and float over the water.

And even though you cannot use cast spells while moving, you can use instants and just stop for some casting.

Comment by 1129765

Kinda wishing I'd picked the tank one to try for my rogue, heh. Multiple posters mentioned that the buff from choosing corral stacked with dash (cat form druid sprint), so I gave it a shot... and was saddened to discover that it does NOT stack with a rogue's sprint or burst of speed.

Movement speed (taken from the blizzard/default UI on the character screen)...
~ Unstealthed, using sprint or burst of speed - 197%
~ Unstealthed, using regular epic ground mount - 210%
~ Unstealthed, using the talbuk from choosing the corral - 210%
~ Unstealthed, using the talbuk *and* sprint or burst of speed - 210%

~ Stealthed, using sprint or burst of speed - 202%
~ Stealthed, using the talbuk from choosing the corral - 210%
~ Stealthed, using the talbuk *and* sprint or burst of speed - 210%

With the talent...
~ Stealthed, using sprint or burst of speed - 222%
~ Stealthed, using the talbuk from choosing the corral - 210%
~ Stealthed, using the talbuk *and* sprint or burst of speed - 210%

In other words, if you're looking for convenience in terms of getting from one place to the next, burst of speed without the talbuk is darn near as good normally and *better* if you have nightstalker... and Nightstalker doesn't work if you're using the talbuk.

Granted, I'm almost always spec'd for subterfuge instead of nightstalker, but even so it's a very minimal boost... and yeah, burst of speed costs energy, but when questing and such, you rarely need to move while fighting anyway and between fights, there's no harm in burning a little energy to keep moving. I have burst of speed bound to a side button on my mouse so it's really convenient (and habit, at this point) to tap it every 3 seconds when traveling around - I pretty much never use my mount these days, since we're currently limited to ground speed mounts in WoD and I've got herbalism/mining (meaning lots of unanticipated stops while crossing a zone).

Comment by vivisecting

Engineers can use their glider while mounted! Hell yeah!

Comment by braneman

The tank is on a 10 minute cooldown(that starts when it dies) does large amounts of damage and has a separate health bar from you, there is no limit to how long you can ride it, but it doesn't self heal, however if you play your cards right with it's ranged attacks you can kill normal enemies before they attack your tank at all.

It also does all of its damage as AOE damage so you can kill multiple normal enemies without being hit. However all of it's abilities require you to stand still.
It also has a cast time to summon that is interrupted by damage so its not recommended to summon it in combat.
It works in all the indoors areas I tested and I was still able to loot, however I didn't get grisly trophies while the tank was out, normal lootable items and quest rewards were fine.

Effectively your choice here is to ride through Nagrand on a mount, or on a sea of twisted and broken tanks crushing the land beneath your steam powered treads spouting clusters of rockets and flame.

Comment by LoKHor

I have a pertinent question: if you choose the corral, will Mirror Images attack your target while mounted? I've found that with the Stables quests to train your mounts, if you summon Mirror Images, they tend to just stand there and not attack at all. Not sure if this is a bug or intended only for that particular mounted combat (to make it more challenging).

I intend to take the corral, so I will report back when I have an answer, unless someone answers this first.

Comment by 1209777

Stacking cat form speed up with the mount from the corral was probably fixed - when using cat form with the mount you no longer go over 200% speed, though Sprint _does_ stack, giving you 270% STEALTHED :D

Comment by Icelus

I noticed today that using Leeching Poison as a rogue, while driving the tank, ended up restoring the tank's health. Whenever I got low health, I'd just use the basic attack on some weak mobs. The high damage spikes were healing the tank for over 1k a shot.

Comment by umbreon089

One bad thing about the corral is that if you're a rogue with a bodyguard, the bodyguard will not stealth on the mount like you; instead, the bodyguard will remain unstealthed on their mount, leaving them to pull hostile NPCs.

Comment by erinm4600

Anyone else not given the option of the Corral? Only selection I could make was the Tankworks.. which isn't what I wanted, but I guess I'll survive.. :\

Comment by Igorath

I chose the Tankworks. I then got taken out by a single flamecaster even though I hit it with the missiles dead on several times. They did next to no damage, the flamethrower was better but the cooldown prevented me from using it more than twice. I actually did better meleeing it. Next character is a druid and I'm going for the coral.
