Headless Horseman's Mount is now instant cast
This is a really bad idea. I mean, incredibly bad. It will cause all sorts of abuses, especially in all areas of pvp. I suggest not giving anyone instant cast mounts, unless it only applies to the flying version or something.

It also makes this one particular seasonal event mount ridiculously better than every other mount in the game, which seems just a bit unreasonable.

The Headless Horseman's Mount has a variable cast time depending upon how it is used: 1.5 seconds as a ground mount and 3.0 seconds as a flying mount. However, due to technological limitations the tooltip reads as if the spell were instant.

Yes, the cast time will depend on your riding skill and the area you're in. So, if you're in Outland or Northrend (no-fly zones excluded), the mount will require a 3-second cast time. If you're in Azeroth, a no-fly zone or do not have a flying skill, your cast time will be 1.5 seconds.
