Auch and Everbloom gives ~8k rep if the group goes for a full clear in 
Everbloom.  Luckily I hit exalted yesterday after doing both dungeons + 
a single mythic with my guild.  Another mount.  238/250.  And I still 
need to craft 4 engineer mounts.  Lazy.  Mat farming.  Argh..

You cant win Ashran without a leader and a handful of healers.  That is 
a fact.  Even if you have a drunk leader you still have a good chance to 
win Ashran. :)
I can recommend the Ashran Buddy addon which gives you a clear picture 
of the fight and the progress towards the final boss fight.

Luckily the event lasts for 17-18 days.  I did the heroic every day on 
6-8 chars last year and the year before and never got a single mount. 
Kinda amazing as there is a ~4% drop chance.

Btw.  150 attempts on the vitreous mount in Stonecore and still counting. :)
