Who else hopes there will be more added in before 7.2 launch?
Maybe the Pterrorwings/Skyscreamers may require already having the dinomancy as a final trick maybe so those that don't already have the dinomancy tome even if they got this would need the dinomancy one for it or maybe after getting this from the questline you can find a rare tome farmed from a Zandalari that could appear as a rare somewhere here in the broken isles or maybe a new rare dropping from the warbringers and warscouts that gives a new questline to go back to the isle of thunder or maybe find remnants of the island nation of Zandalar for a kool brief visit of the sinking island aiding them in exchange to learn their secrets of taming skyscreamers after learning this new tome?
Maybe a new way after both questlines go back to draenor to find a rare arakkoa or maybe a rare dreadraven here in highmountains can drop a item to take to some arakkoa in draenor to do a quest to learn more of the arakkoa and learn to tame the rocs/dread ravens?

there are quite a few feathered friends I'd love to have.

None. And I'd prefer Wyverns be removed,they are not feathermanes.... in fact they are not feather anythings.
I would certainly wish to see them included, (how about add them to rylaks, or chimeras.... it's not like other families don't have single and double headed versions within, like carrion birds.) but add them to something that actually makes sense and doesn't contradict their idea all together.
I don't mind having inclusive groups form family types, but when blizzard starts throwing in....
Owlcats, Gryphons, Hippogriffs AND Wolfhawks!
....all into one MASSIVE family, yet they have a porcupine family... Not a Rous Family, Not Rodentian... just porcupines.
I don't know, I guess I'd just prefer they even things out a bit more.
Yes I would LOVE to see Pterrorwings/Pterrordax and Roc's in game.... but why not have a Roc family? Maybe move Teroclaws into it as well as they are massive and would make sense to add in also, and dare I say, dread ravens?
Why not have a Pterrorsaur family? Add in Pterrorwings, Pterrordax and possibly even Falcosaurs?
They have so many clean simple families they can use/explore.... yet they always seem to do the opposite.
And not to be a dampener on this new and fantastic family... but with they even have a family ability, or be just as defunked as every other family they gave us this expansion.

That's a bit of a loaded question since there's no "Neither" option. I also vote none.

Rocs do not have 6 limbs and as such don't feel feathermane is where they belong and should be in birds of prey or carrion birds.
I still feel blizzard just needs to create mega families.

Just going to quote SpiritBinder because this is my feelings 100%. XD

no because I think Wyverns and Wolfhawks should be in a different group altogether. And the rest in your polls too.

I really hope it's not a drop I have to farm. The dino books were such a pain.

You can buy it outside the Hunter class hall. The catch (at least in this current build) is that you have to have unlocked every artifact trait on your weapon (including the new ones coming in 7.2) to do so. So yeah, make sure at least one of your artifacts is as maxxed out as you can possibly get before 7.2 hits.
Also, I'm unclear on whether unlocking them also means maxxing them.

They just don't fit. One is a flying reptile and the other is a giant bird. It would be better if they were either added to existing families or given their own.

Ah. I only have to unlock the 3 ranks of the dodge one and the 5% damage one. Not too bad, I guess.

No I don't think either should be added to the Tome of Hybrid Beast as neither are hybrids.
Pterrorwings/Pterrordax should have been in the Ancient Tome of Dinomancy. You don't learn Necromancy to control one type of undead right? No. So why is Dinomancy just about one type of dinosaur? The best we can hope for at this point is for the second volume of books to be published and that won't be till another Zandalari Patch.
Rocs and Dread Ravens should be Bird of Prey. If Rexxar the Beastmaster (sometimes spec changes to Survival) can tame one, why not everyone? I know if I was a hunter I would be talking to him at length to learn to tame one.

The dino-birds... ehhhh, not really. Rocs and dread ravens? Also not really hybrids or especially funked-out. Would like to see them tamable, however.

I tidied up the discussion in this thread a lot by moving most of the off-topic stuff elsewhere, unless it would have made a mess of a post to do so.
The "should wyverns be in feathermanes" discussion took on a life of its own and I moved it to a new thread: http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24634
The stuff on faction theme and wyverns vs gryphons I moved to the generic Feathermanes thread: http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24628
