I noticed while questing, a lot of people were trying to attack Gryphon Riders on the ground. If you see a Gryphon Rider on the ground, its most likely bugged and will evade all your attacks. You can only attack targets that you pull down with the chain. I'm sure a lot of people will come here to see if the quest is bugged, so I hope this helps.
There's no need for any fancy tricks on a flying mount. Just stand still while you shoot the hook.

Description
A single Dragonmaw drake is worth a dozen Wildhammer gryphon-riders. Take them off of their lice-ridden birds and they're nothing. Even you can slay them easily, Horde-{class}. Hunt gryphon riders flying over the river north of Bloodgulch. Take this hook and fling it at them as they fly by. Their momentum will hurl them from their mount, right to your feet. Finish them! Kill a few Thundermar gryphon riders and I'll believe your Horde is as mighty as you say.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- War Forage
<Griff's stomach growls.> Whenever we Dragonmaw go on the warpath, everyone stops hunting. The best tasting food is stolen from the mouths of the enemy. Up on the ridge north of the river there's a bunch of wrecked Wildhammer houses. I bet they're loaded with food. Bring some to my mouth.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Paint it Black
The ground bleeds, <class>. They tear it open, as one would gouge flesh. These cultists relish their secrecy but the very elementals they use for their misdeeds can betray them. Seek out Obsidian Stoneslaves northeast of here, among the ruined earth we have named the Black Breach.
