Uh Everyone realises that a tamer with ninja can run next to you and sick this disgusting creatures on you constantly with a pet ball right?

Ok, if we re-word your first sentence replacing the greater dragon with pretty much any pet/pet combo, what do we get? A sticky mess on the floor. If the same tamer dropped a mare and runey on your head, you'd be in as much trouble. 2 kitsune are IMO much deadlier. Tamer doesn't even need ninjitsu form to be mounted with those...
How much testing have you done without the ninja and pet balling? That's what I'd consider a true test of how deadly this dragon is. And from what I've heard they're slow, stick on terrain and a tamer who can't go into form would probably be a sitting duck. So while you don't like this new pet, and while I'm sure it does hurt if you stand beside it, your problem relates more to pet balls and ninja forms.

Not to mention its resist are staggering , with cold still being 60 and the rests being ungodly, with 85ish phys and fire
Not to mention they hit like a truck and have up to 1000 HP

In a perfect specimen. Have you tried finding the perfect dragon yet?
I'd still rather kill a greater draggy opponent than 2 kitsune.

Not to mention alot of their skills go up to 120 including wrestling, tactics and resisting spells and can have 120 mage after taming.

This requires 2 things, you tame a super duper dragon with maxed skills AND our estimates of how much their skills will raise, prove correct. I don't think those figures should be relied upon until proven as possible. We could have a situation where wrestling goes over 100, and magery too, but that's it. Not quite so unbeatable. Even if the dragon does have skills at 120, how many PvPers go around these days with only GM skill? More to the point, rather than killing the dragon, your best course of action as a PvPer is to kill the tamer first.

Barding difficulty drops after taming. Mine shows as 130 difficulty for example. I have little trouble discoing these guys in the wild, so I don't think they're that troublesome for a peacer in PvP.

For those of you wanting me to site my source, My guild just tamed and tested these guys all day, even had three people training them to test the skills, they are absolutly nasty and for those of you on shards without gimp tamers please adopt the tactic named here so that everyone can complain and we can hopefully get a change, or message me and I can assist you.

In a single day, you fully trained a dragon to 120 skill and tested it?
You do realise that your proposed mass gimping might lead to a nerf not of the dragons, but of the pet balls and ninjitsu gimping instead? Because if I wanted to address overpowered tamers, it's not the individual pets I'd go for, it's the common denominator in every discussion of tamers being too uber. pet balls + ninjitsu + any pet will hurt. If you nerf this dragon, all that will happen is the tamers will return to using runeys, mares and kitsune. All of which are much more suited to PvP than the greater dragon. Then you'll be back here crying for this pet or that to be nerfed.
You'd find much greater support from the taming community if you called out the issues that are a problem, rather than screaming nerf this pet. Tamers are predominantly PvMers, and most of us fail to see why an item and ninjitsu should cause us all to be kicked in the shins. PvMers don't tend to spam pet balls + all kill, so few would notice the loss. Call for pet balls and ninjitsu forms to be nerfed and most of us will back you all the way. The gimped ninja tamers are an embarrassment to the taming profession and I agree 100% that they should go. But not the specific pets themselves.
