Where should I start looking for a new mount?

Hi, as an alliance shaman I've been flying around on the same old griffons for ages now. I'm not sure where to start looking for or choosing a new flying mount. Is there a list somewhere of the mounts available and the rep or other requirements to go for? I don't mind grinding the rep but I'm not sure what my options are at the moment.
Cheers.

If you're just looking for something different and not any specific kind of mount, the
Reins of the Bronze Drake
should be pretty trivial to get at your level.

Also, at 90 as ele or enh, you should be able to solo OS 3d 10man to get an easy mount from there as well.

At level 90, he should blow through it pretty quick. The biggest time waster for people unfamiliar with the dungeon is not knowing that you have to run around looking for each wave of adds, and not knowing that you have to follow the flags.

Yes, you probably will be able to do it. Just remember that you can only get the mount if you get to the special boss and kill him in under 25 minutes.
The boss
that drops the mount will disappear from his location in the dungeon if you don't defeat him in time.
Probably a stupid question:, why, as a rogue couldn't I stealth my past everything else, to the main boss with the drake drop and just kill it? Seems so easy I'm quite sure this isn't possible. Comments?
Locked door that you have to beat the 2nd boss to open. CoS is in all rights a GIANT friggin escort quest. You have to "protect" arthas while he "cleanses" the people.

Nope- The first two phases involve defeating several waves of enemies, and then a boss. You have to defeat each wave for the next wave to spawn, and so the bosses won't even spawn until you kill them. In order to trigger the event for the third boss, you have to have Arthas with you, and you can't activate that event until the first two bosses are dead. After the third boss, there is a bookcase that needs to be moved, which you can't move without arthas. So at bare minimum, you have to kill the first three bosses and a significant amount of trash before that just to physically get to the second half of the instance.
After the third boss there is a gauntlet. I don't know if you can stealth past it or not, or if you need Arthas to do the optional boss. If you do need him, then you'll have to fight the gauntlet of trash because he'll die on his own and reset the event. If you don't, then you might be able to stealth past fast. This might be something you have to test.
CoS is a lot more like a scenario than a dungeon. You have to follow the steps in order to progress. Should be pretty easy at level 90, but you can't just skip right to him.

CoS is crazy easy at 90....hell, it wasn't that hard at 85.
The timer is insignificant. Staying alive is all you have to worry about. I first solo'd CoS at 85, and I failed a couple of times, just because I was worrying about the timer. You have to remember, this dungeon at 80 would take a 5 man group at least a couple minutes per boss, along with the travel time, and wave packs.
At 90,everything dies in a matter of seconds, so all that you have to worry about is not over-pulling the trash. I can't remember which ones, but their are a couple waves that actually do hit pretty hard, and if you just dive in, you can get overrun.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean, are you referring to a raid? And if so, can I walk in solo or do I need to be in a raid group?

Obsidian Sanctum 10-man with 3 Drakes Alive.
It's a raid under Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight, Northrend.
Yes, you can walk in solo as of 5.1.

I've not been in Raids so I'm unsure of the mechanics. Do I first need to form a group, travel to the location then "convert to raid", then just walk into the instance from the outside world in the same way as if I was to solo a dungeon?

They removed the raid group requirement- at least for old raids. You should be able to walk right in solo. The only exception would be if you are trying to enter a raid from a dungeon- for example, if you aren't attuned to Molten Core or BWL, and have to walk in the long way. But it's generally easy to get someone to group up with you just so you can walk in.
