To those saying who cares about grinding dailies, stop being so narrow minded. Epic flyers aren't just a tool to grind dailies. EVERYTHING you do will be faster with epic flyers. Getting TO the instance, getting to towns, getting to quest areas, to everything, will be much faster. It will save you so much time you have absolutely no idea. Even if you don't want to grind dailies, think about the below 2 scenarios:

#1 - You buy a bunch of gear, spend all your money getting geared up, and now you want to start running instances. Woops, you find some more gear you want to buy, or you start getting good gear drops from dungeons but need money for gems, enchants, whatever - you have no solid and fast means to get the money. Doing quests/dailies at all without epic flyers is excruciating.

#2 - You buy your epic flyers. You don't have much if any money left for gear. You decide you really want to buy some gear - you might not like dailies but in less than 1 1/2 hours a day you could be getting 1300-1500g just from doing a few quick ones in Icecrown. At this point its really your choice - even flying around on epic flyers mining titanium/saronite can be profitable.

Bottom line is, gear is just gear and can be gotten many different ways. Epic flyers are only available via money and if you don't have them you'll eventually wish you did. If I had to choose whether to give up all my epics (and all 5 of my guys are in full epics) or give up my epic flying skill, I'd give up my epics in a heartbeat.
