On my (med-low pop) server, the elites on the first plateau can be very
overfarmed, but the upper one across the bridge is much less so. Of course,
the mobs there hit harder, but they also give more rep. I can *barely* solo
the easiest elite there, but I've found it's pretty easy to form an ad-hoc
PUG with others trying to do the same thing. Then it goes fast. 

This is good for several things:
* The elites there give more rep.
* You are working on the 20 Elites daily (rep + coins + 50 VP/day)
* You are working on the 50 tokens weekly (rep + coins + 200 VP/week)
* There are there are several rares there regularly, for the 6
  rares weekly (rep + coins)

Try grouping up - its much faster and more fun, even in a two-man PUG.
