Humans can't really have an iconic flying mount now. For years they have not used any and had the Wildhammer help them out in that department. That's why the Wildhammer are so beneficial. To have a sudden new flying mount for humans and it being "iconic" won't work after the two decades of warcraft we've seen them not using any.
Well, I thought Lions were the "special" steed Blizzard gave the Humans, sure it's an Alliance mount, but it's very much human special awesome mount! It's either Horse or Lion, they both fit them perfectly.
Gryphons work fine as human flying mounts. At this point I'd say they're as associated with humans as they are with dwarves.
What I want to see, though, are special flying mounts for Paladins and Warlocks. They have their special ground mounts but ground mounts more or less became obselte with Cata, save for a few exceptions. So a Charger or Fel-inspired gryphon/wyvern only accessible for Paladins and Warlocks would be cool.

It's sort of a paradox. In a fantasy setting where people scramble to play an elf, dwarf, goblin, orc, etc... it's the humans who actually stand out as unique.
agreed..... The bats have nothing to do with trolls.. They just used them for the bat being a horde trait, and not a troll trait, when they added the troll druids. Alliance has the Eagle shape, Horde has the Bat shape.
Eagles could be used as Human flyers though.
Um, what? Are you kidding? The Trolls have been using bat riders since TFT. There's also a bat loa. Bats are a "horde trait" because of the trolls.
