Despite what you may see here, it does take ten motes to create a primal. What you see here is actually a quirk of the way Blizzard handles the spell. On Blizzard's end, a two-step process occurs:
- You use the first mote, destroying it in the process.
- A spell is cast, which destroys the other nine motes, and creates a primal.
This spell here--step two--is the spell that gets listed here on Wowhead.
I like farming these (Motes of Life x10 --> Primal Life) in the dungeon Underbog. The guys that drop the Motes of Life are mainly in the first half of the dungeon, and have the name "Underbog" or "Bog" in them. The guys you kill will also drop other useful items-- i.e. Sanguine Hibiscus (used to grind rep) for Sporeggar, and some decent greens for transmog.
