Keep in mind the motes are removed from most demons, and now only on the void elementals in patch 2.1, so they will no longer be common and prices will likely be rising significantly to match those of the other primals.
An excellent location to farm these is around Oshu' crystal in Nagrand. Just follow the 'path' around the crystal(can't miss it) and do full circuits. You won't have to interact with any other mob and the drop rate is approximately 19% and the mobs are level 65-66 so easily dispatched as a level 70.
