Confirmed!
As an hunter I was able to have him transformed by running out of the boss' area and run back in.
Feign helped to reset him when I failed to bug him. Meaning, Vanish, Invisible or Bubble would work too.

*Edit*
It still glitches though, I just have to die every time it doesn't lol

A while back, I used a glitch involving jumping on a stump to glitch the ZG Tiger encounter so the boss automatically jumps to tiger form in phase 2. That glitch had a low success rate and you hand to land on the stump just right. I also heard about one involving running out through the gates. This method is a modified way using elements of both to both try and easily reset. I know it's possible to do this solo and just do phase 1 normally, but it always messes up for me with an unluckily timed gouge or stun on me and they get ressed.

Keep in mind that this method takes 3 tries for it to work, as long as you pull the boss on his way back each time (which is easy). It always takes exactly 3 tries, though I'm not sure why.

Steps:
1) Clear the right side of the room and any tigers that patrol to the right.
2) Mount up (preferably without speed bonuses) and pull the boss.
3) Run out through the entrance and wait right at the door.
4) When he resets, hurry and catch up to the tigers running at you.
5) This should pull the boss and adds again. Now, go to the right and jump on the ledge to easily reset.
6) Even if they don't pull, jump on the ledge to reset and drop combat and try again.
7) The third time of pulling the boss and adds again, the adds will despawn and Thekal will transform.

If you are having trouble getting them to attack again after the gate reset, try running as soon as Thekal gets to the gate but before he resets, to account for lag.

Here's a video I made:

The run out glitch I saw somewhere else (wowhead probably), but I developed the easy reset method myself, which always makes it work on the third try for some reason. I've been farming this for months and it always works on the third try.

(Note: I made the video a while ago, some of the annotations may be kinda inaccurate with the new info I've gotten, like how it ALWAYS works on the 3rd try, not just sometimes.)

I also searched for "tiger", "thekal", and "zul'gurub" before posting and saw nothing about this.

Let me know if you have any questions or can't get it to work for you for some reason.

This method does not work anymore in Akama realm, once you jump on the ledge or any ledge for that matter while in combat it ports you back to boss. Please delete post or confirm which realms this still possible.
