This is supposedly official information that my GF sent me (She's editor of an MMO magazine so she has good sources):
Weird, I know I posted about this last Thursday. Well anyway, the armored Netherdrake will be available through the arenas as a reward, and a Netherdrake that has a distinctly different appearance from the armored Netherdrake will be available through a quest line which has not yet been implemented. It's likely that it will be implemented with the next major content patch. They're both epic flying mounts, just to clear up any confusion on their speed.
I've been able to gather a little more information which should help set some of the information straight. The swift (armored) nether drake which is a seasonal arena reward will be a 310% speed flying mount. The (unarmored) nether drake will be obtained through a quest (which is planned to be implemented in a future patch) and will be a 280% speed flying mount. This nether drake is intended to supply players with a cool new epic mount and won't require any tasks within raid encounters. It's a reward that all players can work towards, but it will still be difficult to obtain. There is another mount that is 310% speed that is yet undiscovered which is intended to be an equally rare and difficult to obtain equivalent to the arena reward. That's the only information we're able to give at this time.
To get the arena mount you apparently have to be in the top .5% of your battle group. I'll be going for the quest mount personally. :undecided:
