Even after the Elite changes made these guys are still Elite.

I've found they are mostly in the Mardenholde Keep, at the back of Hearthglen.

A few wanderers, and four guarding

Does anyone know if there is a way to kill him as an alliance - as I would love to get a hold of the Runic Plate Boots plan for my blacksmith but he is Alliance.

General info:
There are 6 Scarlet Cavalier, all six are are located inside Mardenholde Keep.

Location:
Two of them are on patrol, 4 are stationary (around Highlord Highlord Taelan Fordring).

One patrol is at 1st floor of keep, moving among non elites Scarlet Sentinel with 3k hp, while second patrols on 2nd floor without any other NPCs.

Spawning place:
First patrolling Cavalier spawns at entrance to keep, cartographer coordinates: 42.4, 15.1, while second spawns few yards in front of Highlord Highlord Taelan Fordring on 2nd floor of keep.
Stationary Cavaliers always spawn at their location, around Highlord Highlord Taelan Fordring on 2nd floor of keep.

Respawn time:
I measured respawn time 4 times for first patrolling Cavalier, 1st time it took exactly 14 minutes to respawn. 2nd time it was 15 minutes, 3rd time it was 14:30 and for 4th time it was 13:20. Other Cavaliers respawned respectively, spawning mostly in order I killed them. I'm saying mostly because respawn time is obviously not fixed, it may vary around 14 minutes.
Highlord Highlord Taelan Fordring however have shorter respawn time, measured 4 times, 1st and 2nd time it was exactly 6 minutes, 3rd and 4th time it was exactly 7 minutes.

Conclusion:
If you plan to farm this recipe, dont expect it will be fast or entertaining. Info about low drop rate is quite correct. As level 80 protection paladin in ilvl 226 gear, you can kill this 6 mobs in no time, leaving yourself quite of time to do nothing.

One of idea is to kill all other mobs and to farm runecloth, thus making some profit while waiting. Killing Highlord Taelan will give you 10s-50s loot. If you have mining, this place is node for rich thorium, so you can mine it here and there.

Other idea is to relog to an alt and do something useful with him. For example, you can collect spawn times in Dalaran for Higher Learning, since that achievement is also time consuming.
It's up to you.
Good luck to all of you planning to get this recipe!

(Info from Allakhazam thread)
In case you're curious, here's the scoop on Scarlet Cavaliers. Six (6) of them exist in all of World of Warcraft. All six of them can be found only in Mardenholde Keep, which is in Hearthglen, Western Plaguelands.

They're pretty nasty, as they have a two second knockdown stun and use Mortal Strike pretty liberally.

Two of the six are easily soloable:
The first one patrols the ground floor of the Keep in the clockwise direction.
The second one patrols the second floor of the Keep in the counter-clockwise direction.

Two more of the six are soloable through a bug: After you have cleared both patrolling Cavaliers and four Scarlet Sentinels on the ground floor leading up to the second floor stairs, you can aggro Taelan Fordring and the front two members of his Cavalier guard. Run down the ramps, jump over the banister, outside of the Keep, turn left, wrap around the back of the Keep until you get out of combat. Then run back into the Keep very, very quickly, and with luck, you'll be able to pull one or both of the rear two Cavaliers before Fordring and the front two respawn.

The final two Cavaliers of the six are linked to Fordring, a 63 elite paladin mob who heals, has a nasty AoE, and can use Lay on Hands (full-health heal which requires no mana to use). This group is three-mannable: ideally a tank, healer, and a sheeper/sapper.

These guys seem to spawn 1 or 2 at a time in Mardenholde keep and patrol through that first room about once every 15 minutes...

I've only managed to kill 3 so far, trying to get the runic plans.

edit:
found a large open room up the first flight of stairs, hang a right instead of going up the flight of stairs to your left and you'll go down a hall that opens into the room.

63 elite boss dude with 4x lvl 57 elite adds (all cavaliers). Got a guild group 2 warrs, druid, priest, hunter, gonna try to take down the whole room.

PS you can't single pull - they all agro at once.

Important correction: Plans: Runic Plate Boots drops at only 0.38% droprate. Beware time waste!

I've been farming Cavaliers for the last week and a half for the Runic Plate Boots plans, and so far it hasn't dropped. I've killed roughly two hundred of the damn things, so I'm calling shenanigans on the drop rates listed here. I'm tracking my data now, though, so maybe I'll be able to sink the drop rate down closer to what it actually is. Will post again if they drop. =)

It takes up to 15 minutes for these guys to respawn.
