I'm currently playing alot on my 70 twink priest and I've bought the Artisian Riding skill, though I've only got the pesky windrider. What I would like the most is a dragon, so my questions are;
-Which dragon mounts can i obtain?
-Which one would be the best choice? (judging availability)
Thanks :)

The
netherwing drakes
are probably your best shot.

Hmmm...
I think you should be able to obtain the red drake mount from Wyrmrest. This would involve doing all the daily quests from Wyrmrest if they are available to you. I am going to go ahead and assume you have your XP locked at 70. You may have to do some quests in Dragonblight to unlock the faction and dailies. There are also some Wyrmrest dailies in Borean Tundra. I am unsure how much time it would take to acquire the drake (exalted status is needed to purchase it for 1200g). I am guessing it would take several weeks at the minimum, especially as the rep tabard doesn't grant reputation until you are doing level 80 dungeons or heroics.
Another option would be a Netherwing Drake from Outland. This requires some daily quests as well, but the higher your rep, the more dailies will become available to you. On most servers, that area is pretty dead, so you can also farm Netherwing eggs more easily, which grant a substantial amount of rep per egg. If you have a good eye for spotting eggs, I have heard it is possible to get exalted rep with Netherwing in much less than a week, at which point you may select one drake to become bound to you for free.
Other dragon mounts available require level 80 heroic dungeons/raid achieves, and some require faction rep that isn't available until level 75+ (oracles green proto-drake rare mount).
The Time-Lost Proto Drake is another possible mount, yet highly impractical as it is a very rare spawn, requires a long time camping the spawn points, and is a level 80 so you might have difficulty defeating it.
Personally, I think the Netherwing is the clear advantage here. The availability of egg turn-ins for rep makes the rep building process faster than Wyrmrest rep. The mount is free once you reach exalted (other colors available for a couple hundred gold from a vendor in Shadowmoon), and everything required to obtain the mount is easily doable for a level 70.
There is another option as well.

Albino is easier to get then you think; the old world mounts for the cities give you more then realize, then once you are 70, grind out Netherwing and Skyguard; that's 12 more mounts right there, plus 7 mounts just from purchasing the normal/epic gryphon/windrider.
Edit: On my Worgen at 68 right now, I have 38 mounts from the Alliance city factions, the 3 normal Gryphons and the Celestial Steed.

Old world mounts do not give "more than I think" because I went to the mounts page and I counted. ;-)
And you just suggested grinding Netherwing rep in your post... which is EXACTLY what was being suggested by most of the posts in the thread.
I said for 'easy' way to get the Albino; and if your Horde, you get an extra two mounts as well for the cities. The Netherwing/Skyguard grind is 'easier' then the Kurenai/Mag'har one.

Uh dude....Netherwing = dragons.
-Which dragon mounts can i obtain?
There's other ways to get it besides that though.
Btw, as for the Horde/Alliance rep. AV/instances + tabard.

Netherwing = dragons.And some people don't like the looks of the Fish Dragons; was just saying for the Albino, the Netherwing are 6 'easy' drakes to get.

He was asking for a dragon mount. I didn't see any specifications besides that. The Netherwing Drakes are in fact, dragons. You should know that from the lore.
He didn't say "I don't want those lame-looking Netherwing Drakes." Don't inject an opinion into this and assume it's also the same as that of the OP.

I have 3 toons with the Fish Dragons, I don't find them lame; but there are people who do. Was merely saying that the Albino can be gotten quickly, not trying to pick a fight so dial back the hostility.

Fixed my post to reflect that. But you did assume the opinion of another user without any evidence that could even point to that.

/sigh Actually Interest I didn't:

Was in response to Kittykat and not even towards the OP.

If anything, you were the one who jumped on me for apparently making some type of what you see a trollish comment when none exists there. And yes, the Drakes are dragons, but for all we know, the OP likes the Northrend/Azeroth dragon look more then the Outland one, so the alternative was suggested there, and shown that compared to when the achieve first came out, it's gotten 'easier' to get it, with a minimum of grinding, and I have several people in my guild who truly dislike the Netherwing drake looks, as well as some of my friends; just because we all like them, doesn't mean everyone does.
But, sorry OP, I'll let this drop as I don't want your thread to get locked.
