If you're not the kind of person who likes to farm the junkboxes separately, I recommend that you lockpick every humanoid you encounter in WOTLK while leveling to 80 . That way you most likely will come across something desirable, like Krol Cleaver or The Dusk Blade, and make quite a lot of money as well.Dear god, what are you doing to those poor people? You're supposed to lockpick locks, not people.
