Note that it is entirely feasible that a patch/hotfix did bump it off the loot table as it has happened in the past.
Except someone in this very thread said they got it three weeks ago so....

or make all non cataclysm raids have only a one day lockout. There is no reason to keep them as a week long lockout anymore.
That won't happen, as there are guilds that just raid at those levels and don't go to Cata.

well if its any consolation sold, I've been farming the priest tier 5 token for well over 3 months now, and it has NEVER dropped, even though Vashj drops 3 frikking tier tokens each kill, NOT ONE OF THEM has been for priest exept the number 5th, and a random priest beated me to it.
Wanna know what the rolls were? to add further insult ot injury, I scored a 92, said priest scored a 93.
Story of my life for Fury of the Five Flights (which I later learned was horrible for Hunters)

9th attempt in a row, no hammer of the naaru. Why even bother.
It'll drop eventually - that I can guarantee you.

3 years of running Stratholme and no horse and you give up after 9 weeks?

just 9 weeks of farming for something so outdated? you havent experienced real pain from RNG.
took me over 22 weeks too get a staff/polearm drop in ToC for my hunter, i was dual wielding for 18 weeks cause the stat gain was better then my ulduar polearm.
22 weeks of farming doing 10 and 25 man normal and a hc. (although hc we werent near killing the staff/polearm dropping bosses)
this my boy is pain.
and when i finally got my staff, i could upgrade it in ICC within what seemed no time at all.

I'm sorry you haven't gotten the item.
RNG seems to have a sense of humor. For example:
My main collects pets. I farmed MGT for the phoenix hatchling for a while at 80. Never saw it. Got bored and went on to other things.
Finally at 85 decided I would get one if it killed me and ran regular MGT over and over, doing nothing else until it dropped. So sick of that place.
Then, my kid gets a wild hair to get a polearm out of there for future transmog purposes. Guess what drops his first run through?
The dang hatchling pet.
Guess what drops the very next day?
The white hawkstrider. I've never seen the darn thing, and he gets it his second trip through.
Sometimes I hate RNG.
(Note: I am mostly kidding. While I would love to have the hawkstrider, I am happy because my son is happy, and besides I have about ten times as many mounts so one more is not as big a deal for me as it is for him)

If you're complaining after 9 attempts you're right, you might as well give up.
Over a year of doing both Kara and MC every lockout for the mount and one thunderfury binding and I still havnt seen either, on two characters. Ravenlord took me 225 runs, White Hawkstrider took me 78, the Zulian Tiger took me around a year every lock out.. The list goes on.
RNG is an ass. Be patient, and you'll get it. It could take months and months, so there's no point in complaining. Stop expecting it to drop, and you won't get dissapointed when it doesn't. That's the best advice I can give.

One way I could see the Ring of Wealth style initiated is that drops work on diminishing returns, in that every time your raid sees one there's a lower chance you'll see it the next time, while others are boosted, but maybe it doesn't work if you're not in a lockout with the same people, or even it samples your DPS role for PuGs, keeps the DR on items for your class/spec, and wipes all others, and then does the same for the rest of your PuG, and then inflates/deflates the numbers at the same rate to reach 100% total.

That would work...

I'm still cursing my lack of luck on all the low drop rate mounts that I have since given up farming...
