The exotics are fun for a time, but I have to say that I'm very impressed by the Nether Ray (Netherskate - Shadowmoon Valley). They are a caster nightmare. Not only that, they hold aggro very well, make dailies a breeze, and mine rarely dies.
I'm BM specced for exotics for the extra points.
Well, at least it rarely dies *now*. I still have my reservations about pets and the expansion. Especially the new large battleground where it doesn't seem any pet could survive for any length of time.
Best part ... I have the red nether ray mount, which matches the pet. I hop on my mount, my pet disappears, and it looks like I just jumped on my own pet for a ride. (ok .. so it's the little things that count sometimes too) :)

Nether ray pet + matching mount + matching noncombat pet would be so win.
Used to happen with my ground mount and my plain white cat. Well, I had for a long time- like, back in the days when pets stayed out and active while we were mounted. I used to love having my cat by my side while I was on my white mount and had the white non-combat kitty.
As for the pets themselves, I just can't bring myself to spec into exotics. My guild leader got desperate for a DPSer today for BT, and he brought in a hunter with a Corehound (despite my warnings against it). The corehound was doing about 300 DPS while the other hunter pets (with 50/11 or 49/12 builds) were doing over 700 DPS.
At level 70, it would be really nice to have those extra points so I could have This pet build, but not having GFtT drops pet DPS by so much that it's just not worth it. And what's even funnier, is that by time we can have beast mastery and gftt at the same time, we won't really need the 4 extra points, because we'll be able to get all the DPS-oriented talents without them.

I do have the fry, but he's blue. I could change the mount and combat pet if I really end up deciding to keep this pet type for good. :D
There's no way I'm getting rid of Humar though.
I wish I could ride my Gorilla. He'd put me on his shoulders and we could frolic around Azeroth and Outlands. It'd be great.
As I see it, the final BM point is really a decision between this or this
The decision would have to be based on if readiness and the efficiency are better then longevity and cobra strikes. At that point I'd say it's worth more to put 1 point into the final BM talent, which will help your pet have more survivability and speed. It also depends if exotic pets end up being tuned to be slightly better then normal pets. We'll have to wait and see I suppose.
Blizzard generally likes people to be using the penultimate talent, so I would suspect it'll be tuned until people want to take it.
