Tested on Covenant M0 (21.14.85)
Felweaver Scornn in Skull Rock - Durotar, entry ID 5822, GUID 12209 is currently only a rare mob but should be a rare elite mob with the stats and difficulty to match. Just go to Skull Rock and he will be on the ledge looking over the middle room with his voidwalker.
To fix, adjust Felweaver Scornn's "Rank" modifier in creature_template.sql from 4 to 2.
Second paragraph and image: "Like elite mobs, rare mobs have a dragon around their portrait; however, unlike elites, this dragon icon is silver and lacks a wing on the side. They can also be elite, in which case the wing is present. Rare mobs are frequently mis-called "rare elites", regardless of whether or not they are elite. "
