NOTE! ANYONE WHO USES THIS GLYPH BE WARNED!
The pet does not get what all other pets have gotten a fair few patches back - auto dismissal when mounted! If you cast it, mount up wander around a bit and land... expect to die REALLY fast with 500 mobs on your butt. I just did. The new permanent pet WILL NOT DESPAWN UPON MOUNTING!

Nah i tried that with the same intentions but unfort. its like my shaman's wolves - only this pet is always going to be there whereas the wolves will despawn and all threat gained is therefore wiped. Not the case with this pet as it will keep me in combat until each individual mob range resets, the elemental dies or i land... and then die.

Right now, i have my horse and roflcopter macroed with the dismiss pet script. Its a real shame but i will only ever be able to keep it summoned for lots of kills in the same area where i wont be mounting for a while.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the elemental being like a pet and lasting until death mainly for frost raiding? Sure, it may be inconvenient that it doesn't despawn, but really, it's not that big of a deal, just dismiss before mounting, and problem solved. And if your just going to use it for frost grinding, then don't get the glyph, doesn't it remove the aoe ability they have? Without that, it's really not worth it to aoe grind with.
Grats! You missed the point of this thread entirely.
Im happy with the glyph, i will use it for most of my grinding. The thread was not me QQ'ing about it, if you actually took 5 seconds to actually READ it, you will notice it is a warning to those unprepared for the bug that the pet does not despawn like all other permanent pets.
You got a problem with that, go cry about it elsewhere.

A minion for mages that lasts forever. Woot! pvp pwnage.glyph of eternal water lets your water elemental last indefinitely, but it forgets how to use Freeze. generally that means it is not pvp worthy

I've been trying this out soloing/instancing and had bugs where the pet disappears going between some zones (like between the new instances in ICC), which is pretty annoying as you still have the 3min CD to summon it again.
And as OP said, it stays with you whilst mounted, but a few times it got stuck as I ran off and then so then eventually has to be summoned again.
Makes a nice change DPSing as frost...although my 1 key is wearing out :)

While this glyph is a welcome addition, it certainly adds a new option to frost. I'm rather suprised the water elemental doesn't use the same mechanics and hunter/warlock pets. We still stuck with the 3 minute CD anytime we dismiss.
It would be great if this was changed pretty soon.

I'm not sure what Blizzard's intentions were with this glyph. Was it to raise frost's pve damage so it could compete with everyone else? Or are they planning to make frost a pet spec similar to unholy DKs?

Ok, let me rephrase that a bit.
Was it to raise frost's pve damage so it could
possibly
compete with the other dps specs?

As a sidenote, if you use a flying mount, will the pet "fly" after you? If it does, you can use it to 'shoot' at other people on flying mounts if they're sitting in place. Pretty neat, at least until they fix it.
No, it doesn't fly. Mine tailed the surface of the lake in WPL as the closest vector to get to me, while trying to catch up to me after I ran half way around the side (50% movement speed debuff on him from being attacked by zombies). All it'll do is despawn once you get a certain distance away from it. Once you mount up, think of it as an aggro'able non-combat pet. I watched it get the crap beaten out of it as it tried to catch up to me.
Or are they planning to make frost a pet spec similar to unholy DKs?
This doesn't appear to be so. Otherwise they would have made the pet functionality the same, which they haven't.

1. I am not your 'buddy'
2. Statement still stands.
3. Looks like this Glyph is a first step in eventually turning our WE into a pet as hinted by resent Blue Posts, would be tight to see if that conjecture does happen :)
