I finally reached Exalted status with Emperor Shaohao last week, while grinding reputation I looted few Burden of Eternity items and used valor points to upgrade resulting Timeless pieces, so overall my ilvl is 533 now.
Looking for additional challenge I went to hunt Zandalari Warbringer. As it turned out I chose the toughest location (Jade Forest) and failed few times. Went on to read how people kill it and finally brought one down in Towlong Steppes and then, eventually every other location. Everyone says you need to kite Warbringer, which doesn't work for me, I got the glyph and tried to kite it, but it always switches to a pet. Finally I gave up on whatever people say and did it my own way. I pet tank warbringer with a regular turtle. I switch off the Growl and switch pet into Passive stance, misdirect to pet and that's usually enough to keep warbringer on the pet at all times. The only thing that can bring pet down is the Vengeful Spirit, so I have to make sure I use Distracting Shot as soon as it's up. Most of the time spirit goes after me anyway, but it can kill the pet in two-three shots, so I don't want to risk it. Spirit is very slow, I am able to kite it with no speed boosts, so I maintain my Hawk stance to maximize DPS and able to kill warbringer in about 8 minutes, give or take. The other annoyances are passing mobs that engage with me or pet once in a while. I have to make conscious effort not to redirect to pet and deal with them one on one.
