Collecting the Pandaren Spirits is now possible Patch 5.1. Note you’ll only be able to pick up the quest once you’ve completed the entire Pet Tamer chain up to Grand Master Aki.
Once you’ve done this, head to your local Battle Trainer in your capital city for the starting quest. For Horde, talk to Gentle San located at the top of the Shrine of Two Moons. For Alliance, talk to Sara Finkleswitch in the Shrine of Seven Stars.
All four Spirits will have level 25 Legendary pets including the corresponding spirit reward as part of the team. For strategies, check out my video links for each spirit below.
Whispering Pandaren Spirit <Grand Master Pet Tamer>
Location: Exclamation Point, The Jade Forest (in the middle of Tigers’ Wood on a peak) – 28, 35
Pets: Pandaren Air Spirit (Elemental), Dusty (Flying) and Whispertail (Dragonkin)
Thundering Pandaren Spirit <Grand Master Pet Tamer>
Location: in the mountains above the Shrine of the Two Moons, Vale of Endless Blossoms – 67, 14
Pets: Pandaren Earth Spirit (Elemental), Sludgy (Magic) and Darnak the Tunneler (Beast)
Burning Pandaren Spirit <Grand Master Pet Tamer>

Flowing Pandaren Spirit <Grand Master Pet Tamer>

Defeating all four rewards you with one of the elemental spirits as a reward and the achievement Pandaren Spirit Tamer.
You will then be able to do it again as an account-wide daily, giving you a chance to get the other three from the corresponding elemental dailies – the Pandaren Spirit Pet Supplies.

On a side note, Mumper confirmed the drop rates on rare stones are low from battles. “Pet daily quests offer a better rate but still not easy.”
Ooh now that’s exciting news :)
I’m excited about this. Those guys are super cute!
A toss up between fire and air for me I think. Mischief versus scared looking little element who needs looking after and leading astray. Probably fire though because I’ve loved that model ever since I saw it on the beta.
Oh fire spirit will be the first for me. And I shall name it Catnaros!
I’ve done these fights a few times each, and I’ve found that the two hardest for me are the Earth and Wind; while with the other two I have a set team that works beautifully for me.
With the Fire I use: Oily Slimeling (Uncommon), Pandaren Monk (Rare), and Rapana Whelk (rare). I tend to throw out the Monk first for the dragon and use his hardest hit (level 5), then on the second round I use the level 2 hit that doubles dmg dealt, 3rd round I throw out my level 1 hit and it works beautifully. I’ve found that I can usually kill 1 and a half pets with each pet on this fight.
For the Water I use: Fjord Worg (Rare), Sandy Petrel, and the Whelk. I’ve also found that for the beast in the Earth fight the Clockwork Gnome works amazingly, and does some pretty hard hits, and heals for about 1k. These two moves makes him an ideal for the hard hitting beast mouse.
It’s always interesting to read what people have found most successful. For Thundering, I find my Flayer Hatchling is very good at reflecting the crystal prison (which he likes to do right off the bat). When it switches to the slime, my Flayer can finish it with it’s other two strong attacks – part. rampage.
