My guess is that they are gladiator mounts since 'deadly' gladiators (very top team of each bracket in each battle group) will have a distinguishable mount from 'hateful' gladiators which represent the top 0.5% of their bracket in its battle group, unlike past seasons when all gladiators (top teams and top 0.5%) received the same mount.
However these two mounts were added to represent the aforementioned mounts which wouldn't be gladiator mounts.
Ironbound Proto-Drake - Summons and dismisses a rideable Ironbound Proto-Drake. This is a very fast mount. This mount can only be summoned in Outland or Northrend.
Rusted Proto-Drake - Summons and dismisses a rideable Rusted Proto-Drake. This is a very fast mount. This mount can only be summoned in Outland or Northrend.

My assumption is that this mount and the Rusted one are the Raid Achievement Rewards for 10 and 25 man Uldar. It would make sense. For the noxious plague cloud themed Naxx you had a Plagued and a Black Proto-Drake. And here for Uldar which seems to have a mechanical lightning "gnomes gone wrong" feel to it you have the lightning laced Ironbound and Rusted Proto-Drakes.

I guess that kinda gives us incentive.
