Oh wow, congrats!!! According to the Armory I'm on 10 kills (plus one
on my druid), really should do more but I ran out of steam after
finlly getting the last pet from that place. I'll go back sometime
though, it's a beautiful mount.

You've got it down way faster than me, although I still use the tactic
of dragging the mobs all around the place instead of fighting them all
in one room (my dps isn't really high enough for that; it is not fun
having more than 2 of them CC'ing me at the same time....), so my
record for the Kael fight itself is about 13 and a half minutes, and
that's after clearing the entire raid out first (ok, I only need to
clear half of it but hey, more chance at pets!). Void Reaver sucks if
you're a caster lacking many instant spells btw, that one's 3.5
minutes on a good day.... did him in under 1 minute when I took my
druid there, sheesh!
