Where It Drops

Blazing Drake drops from Deathwing, an encounter in the raid Dragon Soul (Cataclysm). The Adventure Guide lists it only on 10 Player, 10 Player (Heroic), 25 Player, 25 Player (Heroic), Heroic and Normal. It is one of 31 items in that encounter's loot table. The game files carry no drop chance, so none is shown here.
A warped mass of molten hatred and unfathomable power, this formless, mindless horror cannot be stopped. Whatever was left of Neltharion the Earth-Warder is long gone, his mind and soul corrupted and devoured by his Old God masters. All this monstrous being desires is destruction, annihilation, and the end of all things.
