It seems a very subtle thing slipped out and we got some more story spoilers from a PTR build! This one isn’t quite as huge as other, more recent cinematic-related ones, but it does seem pretty definitive, as the new Evoker spec tells all.
Spoilers ahead, obviously.

Well known dataminer Porterague spotted certain icons for the new Evoker Augmentation spec which pretty definitively show just who the new Black Dragonflight Aspect will be:

The question of who becomes the Black Aspect may have accidentally been spoiled by spell icons lol

One of the new Augmentation spells is called “Aspect’s Favor”. The Bronze one is obviously Nozdormu, but then the Black one is this totally new dragon model… with a nose ring. pic.twitter.com/xfajZOZDnf

It is also very explicitly called “Black Aspect’s Favor” in game when you gain the buff as well

So congrats to Ebyssian on the win lol pic.twitter.com/wkNUb8zcua

This is pretty much what most players assumed, but now we have actual confirmation. It’s a pretty satisfying conclusion, as both Wrathion and Sabellian had their issues, and Ebyssian has been much more active in recent patches.
