Comment (by NowComGreg):

 I just came across this exact issue.


 As @lisota said, a fix for this is needed.

 A work around can be found here for now: http://stv.whtly.com/2014/07/19
 /prevent-wordpress-tinymce-editor-removing-font-awesome-tags/

 Just add a comment tag inbetween the <i> like so

 <i class="fa fa-gamepad"><!-- icon --></i>
