This pet has a chance to drop from the mobs before the Council of Elders encounter in Normal and Heroic mode. It can also drop in LFR, however it will drop after defeating the Council, rather than from trash mobs. In LFR, it is earned as extra, separate loot in addition to other rewards for defeating Council.

Born of sand, these dangerous creatures can form and disperse in the blink of an eye.
wowhead is saying 4% (off the trash) in throne of thunder, so odds seem pretty good, expect a rapid price drop in the weeks to come. Also means you could just farm runs till it dropped since it not off an exclusive once a week loot table.
Its my oppinion that the H/S breed is the best one, since it plays well with the unique skills of the Living Sandling to neuter the speed of the opposition. You can find tough elementals in so many other places, but none with what the sandling brings, and for that you need to emphasize your own speed.
Recieved this pet along with two items on council of elders in LFR.
just got my little guy off the last boss in lfr off the council of elders.
Just got this from trash in our 10m raid group, have only seen one in the past two clears. Not sure if it can drop from the new LFR mode of ToT.
These drop on the trash just before council in the Throne of Thunder raid instance (not boss) in a 25 man raid we saw 1 drop. The item is tradable. So far have seen 1 out of 2 trash clears .
edit : this item also drops as a loot item in lfr on council of elders
