I'm confused as to how they could turn the most effective mount ability into the weakest?
How would people feel about changing it back to at-will, but with a limit to its use of once per turn? Several mounts at similar level have attacks that can also be used every round instead of just once per encounter (ie; dire boar, Rhinoceros).

Combined Attack (while mounted by a friendly rider of Xth level
or higher; at-will, usable once per turn) ✦ Mount
When the giant lizard’s rider makes a melee attack against a target, once per turn the lizard can make a claw attack as a free action against the same target.
When the blade spider’s rider makes a melee attack, once per turn the blade spider makes a claw attack as a free action against the same target.
