Farming embersilk in 5.4 ??

I am still farming embersilk for the first aid achievement and more 
importantly to still make dreamcloth for bags on a weekly basis. Between 
my 2 tailors and using everything but the orbs I can make 5 dreamcloth a 
week each, meaning I need 40 bolts a week.

I think this grop gave me the suggestion to farm the Troggs in 
Needlerock. That was a great place and the only downside was all the 
competition. Using the potion of treasure finding meant I could get 40 
bolts usually in 30-40 mins.

With patch 5.4 Blizz changed the Troggs to dropping only gold, so any 
other suggestions about good places to farm embersilk? I am going to 
check out the dwarves in the dry riverbed of twilight highlands. Those 
are in groups of 2 or so. Glad for any other ideas.

On an unrelated not, 5.4 also seems to have changed the npcs in 
Wintergrasp to providing no drops. When things were slow I would take my 
toons there for the battleground for honor and get some Frostweave cloth 
in killing them. Stacks of that sell well on the ah. Oh well, not 
anymore.

wow-professions have a couple of suggestions but they appear to pre-5.4 so 
I'm not sure if they still work:

http://www.wow-professions.com/farming/embersilk-cloth-farming

Other than those places, it should be quite easy to run dungeons if you have 
a 90?

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check out those places. The last time 
I did it I did it at Krazzworks in Twilight Highlands. It is more up and 
down than I would like but the mobs are engaged with other npcs and 
usually die before they get to me and the respawn rate is good enough my 
first mobs have respawned by the time I get to the end, as long as no 
one else is there. I still use the potion of treasure finding to boost 
the return and get other useful stuff.

I tend not to run dungeoins for farming. It is not that it is not doable 
but seems to be slower.

This may all be moot. I am doing this embersilk farming primarily to 
make illusionary bags to top off the bank bag capacity of my various 
toons once I outfit them all with the royal satchels. I've got a couple 
alchemists who do the transmutes so I have the 30 volatiles per two 
tailors each to make the dreamcloth. I don't do the orbs dreamcloth so 
that is 5 dreamcloth per tailor. 8 dreamcloth per illusionary bag means 
just under 1 bag every other week per tailor.

I don't mind farming the embersilk but up till now I could buy the 
volatile life on the ah for under 2g each by checking the ah regularly 
and buying all that appeared at that price. I haven't seen anything 
posted at that price for over 3 weeks.I won't pay the higher prices and 
won't diligently farm enough for the dreamcloth production.

Such is life in WoW.
