I went to dark shore yesterday on beta, but couldn't find any sign of ghost saber figurines among the new troll camp posted there, I believe its no longer tameable :(

I heard of a report that he's still there ~ I would keep one just in case for now just to be safe though since he's special.

He's still there, I've tamed him myself. The figurines spawn maybe 3-4 at a time and the respawn timer is kind of long, probably bugged. I needed to open 10 before he spawned.

Yes but have you tamed him recently? Things may change patch to patch.

I tamed him right before this patch hit, I can go do it again I guess

Edit1: Found 4 statues my first time through the area, took about 5 min to search it thoroughly *waits for respawn*

Edit2: Found 5 this time around, respawn seems to be about 5-10 minutes. I tamed ghost saber on the 9th ^^

I managed to tame it current patch - around 8 statuettes before he appeared.
Still present :)

I think that making the spawn timer on the statues longer will make it a slightly more challenging tame. I tamed my Saber on the first statue so it would be nice to take that easy element out of it ;)

It took me 16 cat figurines on beta before Ghost Saber popped.

...I almost gave up thinking Blizzard removed it...

When I first went to the ruins in beta, I couldn't find a single cat statue. I was beginning to get very worried when suddenly I found 6 statues all at once where none had been before. (And a Ghost Saber came out of #4.)

I'm both thankful and surprised they didn't end up turning the ghost saber into a spirit beast.

There would be years' worth of INCREDIBLY unhappy hunters if that happened.

indeed, because its the spirit beast look you can get without being a beastmaster:) or did they change that?

It's the original "other worldly" type look, and the only one that was intended to be tamed. But yes, it's still a regular cat skin, as far as we know. ^_^
