THE clean-up pet.  There are a number of Legendary battles where you'll face a legendary pet with a pair of less-than-legendary companions.  If that's the scenario, seriously consider bringing this guy along.  With Emerald Dream/Ancient Blessing you can easily heal to more than full and less powerful competition often stands no chance against the Proto-Whelp.

With Sunlight/Love Potion the Golden Dawnfeather has serious staying power while also giving you a 50% boost to the capture window due to Sunlight increasing the enemies health.  It does work in battles as well, combining it's staying power with a team AOE and a basic attack that's either steady and reliable (peck) or punishing against slower enemies.  Combined with a Humanoid like KunLai you can duo almost every WoD battle allowing you to bring along a lowbie pet to level. Underrated.
