Confirmed that soloing Stratholme (all bosses, even Timmy) does not garner a Feat of Strength.

Aww. :( No Baron Mount either, though I did manage to get the "Baron run" done with ten minutes to spare. There are very few lower level instances a mage cannot solo. Yes, you can kite the vast majority of low level bosses, simply because they don't have a faster than 100% run speed. For instance, Ramstein can be killed using Ice Lance only, while jumping. <abbr><em>Euripedess last blog post..<a href="http://criticalqq.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/the-sacking-of-orgrimmar-pfeh-yeah-right/" rel="nofollow">The Sacking of Orgrimmar - Pfeh, Yeah Right</a></em></abbr> Confirmed that soloing Stratholme (all bosses, even Timmy) does not garner a Feat of Strength.

Too squishy, no healing and no ability to kite the boss (bosses are immune to all slowdowns/cc except Arcane's Slow).

Just hop on your mount and ride right down the road heading out of SW into the harbor and jump off where the walkway bumps out, aiming for the boat on the left. To far left and you will hit the next landing below and fail, There are some large arrow launch things just below where you will land. W00T thanks for the shout out Tuna!
