I also wanted to know if this continues, so I put in a ticket. Blizzard told me I should return to Stranglethorn after Cataclysm releases to see if the trolls know more about Zul'Gurub. So, it sounds like it does continue.
I Want my cute lil raptor! I really hope I can get it soon as off 4. 06 still no way to get it.
