Slag-covered metal possibly bugged?

[hatsworthful]

I'm not entirely sure if i'm missing something, but i've been farming (for hours) the item to start one of the reputation quests with the Sons of Hodir (slag-covered metal, drops from stormforged giants), but none of them dropped it. Hell, i've managed to stack over 140 relics of ulduar farming for the damn item.

Am i missing something, is this bugged, or is it just my luck?

There are 2 reports on bug tracker:
https://www.warmane.com/bugtracker/report/30127
https://www.warmane.com/bugtracker/report/32403

Both are dismissed and the comments say that the item eventually dropped. Also make sure you are not in a raid group.

Doesn't it drop later when you finis the K3 questline?
It was a long time ago but I remember not having any issues with that.

If its not bugged, then the drop rate needs to be looked at as its not anywhere near retails drop rate or even previous rates for Warmane. I kept track and in my killing spree trying to farm them I killed 465 of them and had absolutely no drop for the quest item. I did come away with a good deal of greens to DE and gold but the item did not drop. Others roaming the area reported similar issues, something does not seem to be right.
