Is this really the best route to obtain Essence of water?
I've tried farming the various mobs that drop them, and regardless of drop rate, the spawn rate is a joke. I wipe an area, have to go kill 5-10 of something else, then return to kill the 7 or 8 mobs that drop the essence.
Is there an area with abundant elementals that I just don't know about? I've tried the Toxic Horrors in Felwood, and the plague horrors in EPL. Neither has enough mobs to keep me busy for more than 15 minutes.
Who has fished for the stuff, and how viable is this route?

from the Trade Skills FAQ:
For the extreme fisher... try Azshara. There are spawns in the area, like fish pools, but for elemental water. Fishing in these gives very high yield rates for elemental water, globes of water, and (the big one) Essence of Water. There are only one or two spawns at a time, but they are in static locations (out of 6 possible locations). You need 300 fishing + lures to try here; I think 400+ to keep fish from getting away. You can also fish Stonescale Eels in Azshara. The enemies along the coast vary from high-40s to low 50s, so you'll need to be a high level to do this. Luckily, Azshara sees relatively small amounts of traffic, so ganking isn't a huge problem... unless someone else is hunting Essence of Water spawns.

Making the rounds in Azshara will get you 2-8 essences. All it takes is travel time, really.
