How is someone supposed to remember the exact number of hashing rounds? I think in both the WarpWallet and your proposed ~1.2 million rounds of hashing implementations, you will need to either document the rounds of hashing,  or rely on a third party to help calculate the private key, and I don't think this meets the definition of a brain wallet.
With WarpWallet you can (and should!) keep your own offline version of course.
If you're going for a "weird" number of hashing rounds, I can think of many ways to remember the number. It could be your phone number or full date of birth. Or just something you remember. Worst-case, if you forget the exact number, you can still brute-force it yourself given that you know the pass phrase.
