Well, considering that you can solo Ony now, it's really pretty easy to get the recipe. Getting the Cindercloth cloak pattern is a little more annoying thanks to its drop rate, but it's still not very difficult (just pass it on to a tailor friend). They still look really, really cool, though. Since you get 2 scales from skinning and since, again, she can be soloed with ease, scales are pretty easy to come by.

Should MTs put +15FR on this for a nice FR cloak in MC, or put +10SR on it to be able to resist more of the Shadow Flame attack?

The breath of dragons in BWL

On the Alliance side anyhow, Major Mattingly teaches this to any 300 leatherworkers (not just Dragonscale, sorry to disappoint) that turn in Onyxia's head.

After you get the reward (trinket/ring/amulet), the head is hung and he takes a sec to get the yellow ! over his head again. Talk to him once more to learn how to make the cloak. It doesn't cost any money to learn, just shows up in your crafting ui.

I can make these Destromath Alliacne side (Gazar)

This cloak is used in Blackwing Lair while fighting Nefarian. He casts Shadowflame which does ~5k damage + ~5k DoT. With this cloak you can resist the DoT.

This cloak can be learned to make from the Master Leatherworking Trainer in:
Horde - Feralas: Hahrana Ironhide
Alliance - The Hinterlands: Drakk Stonehand
You are not required to train in a specific style of Leatherworking. All Leatherworkers can create this cloak.
The Scale of Onyxia can be skinned from Onyxia with 315 skinning skill. To increase your skill passed 300 you need to have Finkle's Skinner equiped and a +5 Skinning Enchant to your gloves.
The Cindercloth Cloak can be made by 275 Tailoring, however it is a rather rare drop found on Thaurissan Firewalker's

Can tailors make this as well?

If you dont have this in bwl you screwd, ebonroc & flamegor does shadow flame, gl survive if you get the dot + 5k shadow flame dmg :D

Is this the only epic cape with unique graphics?

It's simple. I forget who does it, but one or more bosses in Blackwing's Lair casts shadow flame. Cloak or no cloak, it does 5k damage. Without the cloak you also receive a 5k dot, for a total of
10k damage.

Has anyone considered that "Completely Engulfed by Shadow Flame" could just be a nasty debuff that is an additional affect from an attack that Lord Nefarius will use, and that this cloak will make you immune to the debuff but not the damage from the attack?

Makes much more sense than it being an AOE that would whip your raid if everyone doesnt have the cloak...

hope his shadowflame isnt a 10k AE....
dun tell me u need 40 of these for lord nef T-T
40 weeks of onyxia T-T

You can get the recipe for this cloak only after you get a tailor to revered with the thorium brotherhood. And thanx to the reason dark iron turn in nerf this takes quite some time

Blizzard did state that they would have a linear system of raid progression where the items of one boss would help you defeat the next one, is this what you need to beat Ragnaros?

What's Shadow Flame?

Omg this rocks!
