A Briefing on the Rare Pets once again helped a lot.
Skarr – showed up on the NE spawn point. Ancient Hysteria+Dismiss, Potion of Speed-Deterrence-Tame macro resulted in an easy tame.
Karkin – I failed miserably a few weeks ago because I couldn’t time my tame. Other hunters were helping but then I could'nt get aggro. Finally seeing Karkin again in the South spawn point, I tried my Skarr tame above… it did not work because somehow, I couldn’t get the timing right. Since I always tame at BM spec, I based the this next tame on the Silencing Shot approach: Ancient Hysteria+Dismiss, Tame Beast, Deterrence at halfway of the Fire Blast cast bar, Potion of Speed-Tame macro. The tame completed just before the second fire blast hit! (Note: I did not need to go to the floating rocks, Tame Beast was in range at the edge of the cliff.)

and with that, all 10 pets tamed. /dance

Thanks Darrwyn, Oz!
Oz, actually the suggested spec is MM to get Silencing Shot. As MM, you Tame Beast to trigger Fire Blast, once it’s midway, cast Silencing Shot followed by Deterrence and Tame Beast once again. But as I’ve experienced, it’s all in the timing. Ancient Hysteria speeds up taming for BM but if you’re SV or MM, other haste buffs are as good. Good luck!

I guess I'll have to haul my lazy butt up there and camp for Skarr one of these days. MM is my current os, I needed to learn it for some specific FL raid boss mechanics. I'll have to give it a try.
I tried Kirix (green spider) the other day, cause he happened to be up:
Aspect of the Wild, Concussive shot to pull, jump/Disengage when he charged, Deterrence, Tame
I was doing it wrong cause I died quickly about 4 times before a Night Elf swooped in with buffs from a partner and got the tame. When I rezzed I was way across the map in the Shadow daily area! Took forever to run all the way back to my body, bah.

Try: Aspect of the Wild, Tame Beast to pull, Disengage just when he throws you up into the air, Potion of Speed+Deterrence, Tame Beast. I died at least 10 times trying this out.
However, aside from the floating rock, there are also two other bugged areas where you can tame from. But where’s the challenge in that?

Interesting. I just saw a BE hunter use Arcane Torrent on Karkin leading to a successful tame. Great strategy!

Gratz Anj!
Guys don't forget for your buffs you can use Elixir of Mighty Speed, and then Potion of Speed in your tame macro. Both will help cut your tame time down, and on my server Mighty Speed is usually pretty cheap.

Thanks CrimsonGeezer… Drach sent me some elixirs but they’re not macro’d yet. Thanks for the idea.
I stumbled upon Kirix. I tried taming him from the ledge and rock… and it was painful. It looks like Blizz has hotfixed the bugs.

WOW Anj, grats, that's awesome you got all ten!
So, though Skarr isn't an exotic, you pretty much need to be in BM to tame him, yes?
Nope you can tame them in MM spec or SV, but MM is definitely easier with the Silencing shot.
