Death Knights get both a unique land and flying mount.
It's important to differentiate between unique and included mounts, though.
I would LOVE for every class to have a unique flyer/normal/aquatic mount.
I don't think each class should learn it from the trainer. I'm fine with some having to be purchased (like the DK one) and others being learned (like Druid).
I just want EQUAL mounts. The whole insta-flight form is just so much better than everything else. I'd take an instant mount over a 310% mount. ESPECIALLY if on a PvP server.
For an example of Warriors:
Armored Warhorse or Armored Battle Wolf (I mean HEAVILY armored--a walking tank). Could be available like the DK Gryphon, and cost 1K (or more, if gold is easier to come by in Cata) with default rep with some organization. They could get bladed gryphons/bats/whatever at a different price. And, for aquatic, something like a turtle with a combination of armor and blades.
Doesn't need to be cheap or included as an ability. Just make a unique one AVAILABLE.

Warlocks are master summoners. Their entire class is built up around the ability to summon minions from another dimension. Hell, the quest to get the Dreadsteed is about how you learn to summon and control the mighty beast (same with Doomguard).
Hunters are master tamers and trainers. And I THINK they are getting the skill in Cata (not sure and don't care enough to look). Just because the idea fits into a class, doesn't mean they should get it from gameplay. Mages should easily be able to conjure a mount, if they can do elementals, or teleport anywhere. Etc.
