Azshara — water. Spitelash water elementals along the coast: Essence and Globe of Water. Few competitors, steady spawns.
Silithus — air and earth. Dust whirls and earth elementals give Essence of Air and Earth; plus Rich Thorium and Runecloth on the side.
Felwood — Living Essence. Life elementals and corrupted spirits; a versatile alchemy and enchanting reagent.
"Breath" reagents (Breath of Wind, etc.) are rare drops from air elementals. They're needed for top enchants (like gloves haste). Farm Silithus dust whirls in packs with an AOE class.
