White is right.

those are reserved for Raid Leaders

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.

When 3.1 goes live, the rewards for “Glory of the Raider” and “Heroic: Glory of the Raider” are being removed. These achievements will still be active, however, players will no longer receive the Plagued Proto-Drake or Black Proto-Drake for completing them. Similar to our decision to remove the Amani War Bear from Zul’Aman, the goal is to ensure that such mounts retain a degree of rarity in the game; and with raids progressing into Ulduar in patch 3.1, we feel obtaining the rewards for “Glory of the Raider” and “Heroic: Glory of the Raider” would be somewhat trivialized. For this reason we will be offering new fast mounts (310 speed) as rewards for completing select achievements associated with 10 and 25-player Ulduar.

I guess that kinda gives us incentive.
