It's SB now, not HW or ARR. You can make the comparisons all you want but it doesn't mean that the order has to be the same.
They didn't add the Vanu and Vath costumes until 3.3, whole patches after the beast tribe quests were released. For the Kojin the costume is released at the same time, and they decided the mount is the ultimate reward.

You'll get your mount in a week.
