Mote Farming whilst rep grinding

I have discovered a nice way to circle around with a level 62 an 64 respectively to rep grind my way to honored in Outland and have in the process stumbled across an easy way to get my hands on some elemental motes required for transmuting primal might and high-level crafting. At this lowly a level, I can get my hands on most, except for mote of fire or mote of mana.
  1. Hellfire Peninsula: The voidhawkers have 10 - 18% drop rate for mote of shadow and is a 2 minute run from the Honor Hold flight point.
  2. Zangermarsh: Grinding the withered giants and boglords with a herbalist has resulted in 10 x primal life in two days. To be fair, the bloodthirsty marshfangs do have a 2% drop rate of mote of mana, but they are in the west and I am currently grinding in the east.
  3. Terrokar Forest: The lagoon eels are good for 10 x primal water in a short play session and the infester root-walker and rotting forest ranger also drop primal life.
  4. Nagrand: The elemental vortex thingies are good for mote of air, shadow, water and earth. If it swirls or rolls, kill it.
Mote of Mana is really in Netherstorm, will have to wait until at least level 67 to farm comfortably. Similar for farming mote of fire from searing elementals in Blade's Edge mountains. Just three more levels until I am no longer auction house dependent (primal fire / 10x mote of fire is 32-35g each, unaffordable at the moment), but at the current rate I am leveling up, it'll be Christmas before I get there...
