The Druid who Soloed Onyxia seems to have become the Shot Heard Around the World. It was just Monday that WoW Insider brought you the video of Serennia of VANQUISH (Cho'gall, US) downing Onyxia. Today, as if challenged, tipsters sent in the video of a Paladin named Par (Khadgar, US), slaying the dragon by his lonesome. A few posts on the Official Forums have discussed the feat. It will be interesting to see if other classes step-up to claim solo Onyxia-credit in the next few weeks.
Thanks to everyone that sent this in!
Edit: There's some question about the original Onyxia Druid soloing - it wasn't Serennia the character, but Serennia the player (who is the Warrior of the same name). According to several commenters, it was Serennia playing on a druid's account. Also, the original Warcraft movie blurb is signed by Serennia of VANQUISH.

Classes that won't be doing this feat: Mages, Priests, Bards.

I dunno... I think the Metal spec'd Bard can take Onyxia down. Punk and Indie specs will definitely find it hard though. :)

Soloing Onyxia should give you the title, "Dragonslayer".

No sign of the pat, so guessing he just killed it.

Either he killed it, or he was lucky and the bug didn't trigger, meaning the pat never (re)spawned in the first place.

Why does it keep fading out? At one point it fades and he has full mana when it comes back. I'm inclined to suspect shenanigans if he's getting an off screen innervate (which poses the question, what else is he getting?).
Still, I want this to be valid.
Worth noting though, he's not protection. He's holy/prot, enough prot to get reckoning (he doesn't use holy shield), but he's got enough holy to get holy shock. I'm curious to know what spec and consumables he ran with.

Oops, hadn't finished the video when I posted that, spoke too soon.
Good show, nicely done.

I'm not trying to question the authenticity of this vid, and feel free to call me a noob, but at the end of the run when he loots Ony, the loot appears for rolling - doesn't that mean he MUST have been in a group?
I'm not suggesting he was being assisted, just got me thinking!

@Uranium He IS in a group, a raid-group in fact. If he wasn't, he couldn't even enter the instance :)

"From warcraftmovies:
I saw that someone “solo’d” Onyxia. Seems cool, but 1+1=2, not 1.
The difference between my kill and Serennia's may seem insignificant but the fact is mine was done with one player in the zone and his wasn't. Paladins can't really do much about that anyway other than cross their fingers and not get a warder in p2. If you dl it and can read my text you see me saying "no warder plis" entering p2, even though both times I have tried and successfully killed Onyxia solo I haven't agro'd a warder. I'm just lucky I guess. But given that luck, mine is indisputable while Serennia has some controversy surrounding his kill."
He didn't get the bugged warder. They both accomplished the same thing, neither killed the add.

I heard you had friends kill Hogger's adds. Not a true solo. :)

Could anyone tell me what AddOn he's using to make his buffs show seconds remaining?

Try OmniCC, it tracks pretty much all of your cooldowns.

When I look at Serennia in the armory, they are a warrior. Can you please find out who the actual druid who solo'd onyxia is? please fact check.

Read the article about the first solo kill. Its listed over and over in the comments explaining that the warrior was playing on a friends druid. The name given is for the warrior, the druid is the arena partner. Im too lazy to go look up the name.
