Today I snagged one from AH for... 3g (over 10k as of now here, on Burning Legion ;)) !!! Seller either was drunk, didn't know what rarity of this pet is or simply putted wrong pet :). Too bad for him, sooo good for me :)))). Yesterday I bought Ore Eater for... 10g (over 14k as of now, hahaha maybe from same seller ???)!!! Checking AH regularly can really reward you for effort putted in it :P.

Got my from a Searing Hatchling right outside of Ony's lair!  Was actually hunting after a rare Spawn of Ony and just killing the hatchlings if I happen to come upon one.  On my 25th kill I was surprised with a Dark Whelpling!

Caught this after a little over 3 hours of grinding. Was farming the whelps in the Wetlands, right near where I farmed for the Crimson Whelping is a line of four whelpings on the top of a small hill that hte orcs sometimes come and capture. I farmed these as they have a fast respawn time. By the time I'd cleared the line the respawns had happend.

Finally! Was going to give up after 300 tries. Got it at 256. Lots of skins to sell too. Now time to level this bad boy up.

 

-- Update ---

I think you might be able to get more than one if you are nuts enough to spend the time. I killed a few more and my add on started a new count for me. I believe if you could only have one it would not count again because I have tried that on other pets.

Farmed this in Wetlands, got it the first day on my 516th kill, was pretty lucky, though it took about 4 hours to get at lvl 100. They do spawn very fast, i just went up and down one side of the area without any trouble.
