Ran through one dungeon (Uldaman in my case) and got all 50.
Even works as follower dungeon, if you don't fancy to pug it.
You'll find Kurdran Wildhammer at 38.32, 94.58 (in Valdrakken)
AND
You can summon Squally (the companion), she will have a quest (Gryphons of a Feather) for you that will give you a tracker to go talk to Kurdran.

Description
This beauty is no ordinary gryphon. It's got the storm within it. I've been trying all day tae calm it down. It reminds me of an ol' Wildhammer myth. Stormrooks, they were called. Only able to be bonded by gryphon riders of great renown. If we can show ye got the spirit of the storm, maybe it'll open up tae ye. Try proving yerself in battle.

Step 2 of 4. Chain order is read from the prerequisite data in the current retail client build, so it reflects what the game requires, not a curated storyline. A step the build does not name is kept in place, unnamed, so the sequence stays complete.

After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.
- A Sacred Connection
Aye, the stormrook is beginning to take a liking to us. But the bond between rider and gryphon is forged over many trials. Ye may have the spirit of the storm, but let's show how ye mastered it. Time to really prove yer mettle in battle.
- A Sacred Connection
I may have granted you clearance to wear our armor, but to focus the storm's power through it as the greatest Stormriders do... The greatest Stormriders in our order do not merely possess the power of the storm. They have mastered it. And this mastery is forged over many battles.
