WotLK Ghoul suddenly not respawning at all when dismounting mid air

[kphrtz]

I am on the Lord. server. I have a level 80 DK that I've had for years and now a new DK that is currently level 65. I just got out of a dungeon with my level 65 (Underbog) and now suddenly if I have my ghoul pet out, get on my flying mount and then dismount in the air, my ghoul doesn't respawn and I have to wait the full 30 second cooldown to get him out again. Also, I cannot mount my flying mount if my character is standing in water of ANY depth. I quite literally had one foot in ankle deep water and it wouldnt let me get on my flying mount because "You can't use this while swimming". What the hell is this? It is happening on both my deathknights on two different factions and two different accounts. If I mount my ground mount and dismount, my pet comes back like normal. Even if I use the flying mount and dismount after landing fully on the ground first it will come back, but who the hell lands before dismounting? Even if I am hovering an inch above the ground and dismount my ghoul is gone and I have to wait 30 seconds, on top of the 5 seconds it takes him to crawl out of the ground. I use my DK's exclusively for PVP and they are currently both worthless because of these issues. Does anyone know what is going on? Can't get any help in game.

And to clarify: YES I have the Master of Ghouls talent on both DK's. I am not that dumb lol.

same issue

It's not only about the death knight's ghoul. Every class with a pet had the same issue recently. Warlocks and hunters have experienced the same bug. Pets disappear after mounting.
