Except that's not a player mount, that's a quest thing.

It will be a Barghest
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barghest
It ticks all the boxes:
Similar in appearence to concept art
Links to England
Suitably Feral for a Worgen mount
The only thing it is missing is there are none in game at teh moment

What I believe it to be was a boar / worg hybrid.
Long link, but it is a google image link.
It looks to me like the body structure of a wolf, with boar tusks flipped upside down. It seems as if it might of been mutated from what it once was.

I'm 99% sure I read either a blue post or interview transcript that said they aren't sure if that concept art was the direction they wanted to go with Worgen mounts. Also, that very image is in the Cataclysm guide here on Wowhead.f
D'oh. It was on the first page of this thread. >.<
I'm assuming that "that's something we've drawn a picture of" refers to the concept art that's been floating around.

I will admit, when I first saw the concept art for the Worgen, I was a little bit disenchanted with it. 'So, what, it's like... a weird hairy horse wolf boar bird hybrid thing? Hooves, horns and hair, really?" However, having thought about it, in a game where we can ride, on a day to day basis, horses, talbuks, elephants, kodo, dead horses, rams, cats, wolves, raptors, chickens, a different kind of elephant, robot chickens, dragons, wyvern, dragons, dragonhawks, dragons, undead winged gryphon things, motorbikes, sporebats, hippogryphs, and, of course, dragons (I think I missed one...) Would it REALLY be all that bad to see something interesting, like a boar/wolf hybrid? To be honest, I agree with an earlier poster that at least naming the creature a Barghest would be an interesting choice, since it has associations with English Folklore, and Gilneas has been formed around some strange, gothic version of Ye Olde Britaine, complete with top hats to really bring out the victorean in you.
TLDR; Boar Wolf Hybrids are a nice change to the deranged pseudo chocobos and thinly disguised horses.

why would a WEREWOLF get on a horse to charge something down.
I dont get it .
they should have amount.
but more importantly,
they should have an ability that mimics all aspects and features of a mount.
but instead of a graphic poping up with a mount,
they should go into travel speed mode, with all mount limitations.
the worgen should charge on all 4 legs,
Seing a worgen on a horse or chicken, is going to be quite stupid fail.
why would a werewolf get on a lesser fail animal, to chase something down?

Bearing in mind that we use mounts for more than just chasing the next thing to kill. We use them for traveling long distances, carrying equipment, all these things that, because WoW is a game, we forget about.

*comment about Plainstriding*If you had actually read the thread, you would know that has been mentioned... and has been mentioned often on the boards. Just like the Tauren, the Worgens will have a mount, so that the other races can have access to them, just like all the rest. Also, they are Werewolves, not Wolves; wolves have the stamina to run for days, but humans with wolf characteristics don't.
