TheWoWDBIf you happen to AFK during the RP part (like if you've heard it before and there's no skip for part two of the War of the Thorns *glare*) and come back to a despawned Tyrande mount, just fly out of the area and back in (zone name needs to change).
The mount will be waiting for you then.

Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
