After trying various places for farming Obsidium, the place I've had the most luck is in the Shimmering Expanse. There's a nice, comfortable loop that you can make around Silver Tide Hollow, out east through Thelserai Temples, then south along the backside of Nespirah to loop along Biel'aran ridge, then north through the Tranquil wash to the start.
On three separate occasions, fifteen minutes of farming (about how long it takes to do the loop twice), has netted me between four and five stacks of ore each time. Granted, this is on a low-population server, without any discernible competition for the nodes, but still. Significantly more efficient than anywhere else I've tried.
