i got this beautiful mount today on aerie peak, about 13:16 server time, been camping this for 4 days straight didn't see the bat once, it spawned on the ground in front of a pillar right in front of me, i was camping over the shaman quest giver, facing the dungeon entrance and about same height, i was kind of shaky, but as a ret pala with 381 ilvl it was not a problem and the mighty beast fell to the ground in less than a minute, the funny thing was when i was flying towards the drake, a bloke flew past me in the other direction, poor guy didn't notice the giant drake besides him :P

For a data point for US-Lothar, I just got him 8:10PM EST approximately. Western spawn point. About 6 months after getting him on my DK by accident.

After 8 days of camping by the Stonecore entrance, NPCscan went off at 11:46 EST, Aeonaxx was by the bottom-left (southwest) spawn point.
A very easy fight for a mid-geared 85 hunter, I could kill the spawned whelps before they had a chance to hit me.

I've been camping for shortly longer than 2 weeks. I'm a stay at home mom, so during the day I just stay logged in but AFK while I do things around the house, take care of my twins, play with them, etc. Occasionally I'll sit down and do a pat around the Temple. Last Monday though was pretty strange for me. I was messing around in Stratholme seeing if I could get the Baron's mount. I wasn't really excited about getting it, but I was bored so I decided to give it a try because I'd been trying and trying and trying and waiting for Aeonaxx to spawn for a week at that point. Well, he doesn't drop the reins so I go back to Deepholm. I'm headed to my spot when NPCscan goes off and THERE HE IS! He's targetable, he's green, and he's beautiful. I right click to mount, I get on him, but right before he starts to fly off I'm booted off and parachuted to the ground. WHY! I kick myself for messing around elsewhere! In my despair I decide to stay in Deepholm, my obsession with this mount more fierce than before. While I'm doing dailies for Therazane NPCscan goes off again...and it's Jadefang. I do false lag and get my combat pet. As I'm heading out of the cave, NPCscan goes off again and it's Terborus. I get a blue item that gets me 1k gold in the AH. I'd also like to put out there that this was after a server restart. A server restart that was on a Monday too btw, which I found strange...but oh well. So, in one day I see three rare spawns in Deepholm, miss the only one I care about but get some other cool stuff in the meantime. I'm still here in Deepholm, waiting for Aeonaxx. I've had Blood Seeker spawn once. I'm usually the only camper. Sometimes others show up, but not for long. Hoping this week will be the week...for reals.

I finally found Aeonaxx on Cenarion Circle, Feb 16 around 11:30PM Pacific. He spawned right in front of me at the NW point. Funny enough, I had just changed my hearthstone to Deepholm that morning so that it would encourage me to fly around the temple after I'd do dailies or whatnot elsewhere.
I had been camping on and off for a little over a month, and I only saw Blood Seeker once over the course of my camping. Very easy fight for anyone at this point with 4.3 gear.
For those of you still hunting, hang in there!

Aww that's awful :-( I hope you'll find him again soon, with no parachutes unti the end when he's dropping to the ground. Goodluck!

After scanning Deepholm off and on with my main (PvP Sub Rogue) for months, I determined that I didn't have the will to sit down and camp Aeonaxx hardcore. I was faithful to scanning the area before-and-after bg's and dungeons. I even utilized "Potion of Deepholm" in place of my hearth to ensure opportunities to happen across him without dedicated camping. I was working on my 83 PvP Disc Priest at 2:00pm Server (4:00pm CST) when Aeonaxx spawned directly west above me at cords 43,59 directly west of the Temple of Earth in the Quartzite Basin. NPC Scan went off alerting me to his location and was able to scan him from a good distance away. I was actually under the other spawn point closer to the temple when it located him further west. He was flying very slowly in that patting circle. I clicked on him and the mount scequence commenced.
Problems.... I am a lvl 83 pvp disc priest. The dragon has almost 800,000 HP. The good news is, It may take forever to dps Aeonaxx down, but I had no problem keeping my health up with the shields, instant heals etc....
I wouldn't have been so lucky if I were not able to heal myself with little or no mana at that level. The whelps do not hit hard at all, but they do respawn if killed. They only have 7k hp or so.
I had my girlfriend stand on a rock on the west side of the temple and throw dots at him from a distance when we made the circuit. Which helped CONSIDERABLY. Her druid dots would bring him down approx. 10% each time she was able to land them.
Wanding Aeonaxx to death while popping bubbles on myself, was probably the slowest and most agonizingly stressful venture to date in-game. I've done alot of stressful raids in the past, in new content as well as many battlegrounds. This was terribly stressful. On top of having no mana to dps him with, the whelps continued to interrupt my Wanding for the lenth of the encounter. You can laugh at this point. Trust me, it was a nightmare. If it wouldn't have been for my Druid partner in crime, the fight would have taken at least another 30min to 1 hour. She shaved at least 40% of his health away in the brief periods she was able to DOT him up. Aeonaxx moves incredibly fast while the fight is taking place which makes tracking him and assisting the person on board difficult.
My suggestion, having gone through this with a low lvl character without decent dps capabilities is, If you are lvling a toon in Deepholm and are interested in aquiring the mount, keep your higher lvl character logged at the foot of the Temple of Earth. Also, if you are questing and plan on taking him on with your current lower lvl toon, make SURE you have a reasonable spec in case you get lucky. If I were shadow instead of disc, for example, a 45 minute encounter would have lasted less than 5......
I hope this information is valuable in some way. I was lucky to have him spawn close to me. However, I was unlucky to not be prepared for a long fight... I do apologize if getting the mount at lvl 83 frustrates some of you 85 lvl dedicated campers. I didn't put in the time or effort to deserve the mount. I was observant and I did make some arrangements to put myself in a good position to get lucky. I wish the best of luck to any of you planning on farming this guy. My best tip, POTION OF DEEPHOLM Its instant and can be used throughout the day in-between daily's and bg's....

Time and location are from the person who allegedly found it. I say "allegedly" because I've been camping the northern spawn spots for about a week now, and was camping at the time...so I find it odd that neither _NPCscan nor my targeting macro found anything despite various sources saying I should've been able to see him spawn over there.
Unless maybe his view distance got reduced in a recent patch? :/

It may have been spawned in different phase.
If Blizzard to be believed, it is supposed to "give all players a chance to bla-bla..."

Bit over a week since my last "sighting" a few posts above, but this one's got a much happier ending! Saw him, beelined, mounted, and less than a minute later the mount is finally mine. :D
Never going back to Deepholm again!
