I've tried this item a few times, and I'm not sure it's actually doing anything. Like, at all. Anyone else have trouble with this?

The actual spell Throw Grenade lists the following attribute:

Can only be used during nighttime

That seems... odd.

This is going to be awesomesauce! No longer do I have to rely solely on my freeze trap for adds! WOOT!

A major issue (as of 8/25) is that this bomb along with the other two engineering bombs at this level share a cool down with health potions.

This is useable in low level battlegrounds.

Sorry to say but it is my experience after using 45 of these bombs, while doing world PVP, These bombs do not affect enemy players.
I've never had a single Combatant turn into a giraffe.

LOL. Yes that is the effect. A giraffe.

It really is only an amusement and has no practical use that I could find.
The cast time is 1.5 secs. If you get hit while casting it is interrupted.
The Sheep just mill about where you drop them. So in order to interact with a mob you need to drop the bomb right on top of them.
The throw distance is really short as well. It is not quite aggro range but just a minuscule amount further.
Making it hard to judge when you can safely throw it without aggro.
It also says that using it creates no threat. Again that is not correct. If you throw it and no mob gets poly-morphed there is no threat. But throw into a crowd and you will get aggro from the other mobs that did not become Giraffes. As well as the poly-morphed mob once the spell breaks.

When the sheep do show up (sometimes they just don't) they hang around in a clump for 10 seconds then disappear.
I have dropped it on large tight groupings of mobs and have only ever had 2 mobs turn to Giraffe.

Supposed to last 20 seconds but I say that it should read "CAN last UPTO 20 seconds" because it really is a rare thing for this effect to last more than 10 seconds.

These can be used in Mythic+ and unlike their horrible damaging equivalents, these might actually have a purpose. In addition to it's 1.5 cast time, the grenade travels quite slow so basically makes it's impossible to use on anything but a stationary target, even then it might not work immediately as one of the 5 random sheep must spawn directly on top of the target. The best use I've seen for this item has been pre-throwing one in the path a group of mobs when pulled and having several be polymorphed as they run towards your tank. However, as you have very little control over which ones get polymorphed and it only lasts 20 seconds, it's nowhere near reliable as standard crowd control effects. It is hilarious however to see a group of random creatures from giraffes to snakes wondering around in a small pack. Be careful when used on patrols however, as the sheep spawned count as friendly mobs and will agro enemy mobs. Melee will generally get polymorphed while trying to attack it, while ranged units will just one shot them with no effect.

These are great in a 5-mask Horrific Vision of Orgrimmar. They can sheep both Rexxar's and Thrall's boars. This made it much easier for my Disc priest with no Silence for interrupting Void Quills.

Against Rexxar, drop the bomb at your feet before the fight starts. Boars will run into them when they charge you and get sheeped.

Against Thrall, throw a bomb on top of one of the boars before the fight starts, and focus fire the other. They won't be resummoned.
