What if each class had like 2 abilities they can use while mounted and also your mount has a health pool you need to burn before you get dismounted?

There’s a reason vehicle combat is hated. The hit boxes are whack

Guessing it would be like Vashj’ir and underwater zone. It would be really cool for a while but eventually people would start going to Mt Hyjal instead. I still like Vashj’ir and want to go back but ultimately it is a one off zone. So maybe a zone with mounted combat would work but I wouldn’t want more than that.
Sounds like a terrible idea in this game.

PvP wasn’t designed for 1v1 combat.
Giving everyone mounts would highlight those imbalances further.
If you desire mounted combat, try Trail of the Crusader.

Only if I deal 500% damage when wielding a pike.
The mounted combat in Halls of Origination on the camels outside worked great. They should make that baseline.

No, vehicle combat is garbage and should have died in wrath.

I can fight while mounted for 6 seconds out of every 1 minute. 
So druids will be able to attack while in travel, flight, or aquatic form? YES!
We were supposed to get mounted combat in Wrath (I think), but it was one of the things that was scrapped.
I would guess that trial of the crusader jousting and vehicle combat were the closest they could get with what they were working with, and I don’t think they did that great of a job with it. Flame Leviathan and the final phase of Malygos come to mind.
It’s hard to see how they would work it into WoW’s combat system as it is now, so it’s probably better if they don’t without some massive reworks.
Works fine in Guild Wars 2. In the world PVP zones you can only ride a specific mount called the Warclaw, and he have PVP specific abilities like enemy radar, a chain that can yank on castle/keep doors and dismount enemies, and a pounce attack. Wish you could ride Skyscale in PVP there 
Feint and killing spree, while mounted. snirk aight, let’s do this.
Jousting not going over well waaaaay back probably has something to do with this not being a thing.
As a test, I would love to see a new BG designed around mounted combat, with flight.
