Shattered Halls Key Quest Problem

I began the other day to work on making the Shatterd Halls Key for my "Key Master" achievement... :(

According to all sites I've researched, a [Primed Key Mold] should drop from Smith Gorlunk in Shadowmoon Valley, which will begin the quest line for the making of the key...

I have killed Smith Gorlunk over 50 times. Yet, he drops NOTHING. Not even vendor trash.

I created an in-game ticket, and the response I got was:

The issue reported above is not considered to be "broken" and should be functioning normally. If you feel that the functionality should be different, then please visit the Suggestion Forum (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/board.html?forumId=11122&sid=1) and post a suggestion. These forums are regularly monitored by the World of Warcraft development team.

According to all sites I've looked at, the drop rate for the key mold is between 30-55%. I literally have killed this guy 50 times.... :/ This does not appear to be "functioning properly"...

Has this item changed?? Am I missing something?? I would very much like to complete this achievement, and cannot do it if I cannot get the key mold... :(

I believe you'd be better off by speaking with Rohok in Thrallmar, Maríssa. Just make sure you've low level quest tracking on. :)

Haha. That would be a rather interesting journey, wouldn't it? :)

Dumphry in Honor Hold would likely more be hospitable.
