Another thing you could do is just farm Ruined Leather Scraps and make them - you'd only need to farm 2160 Ruined Leather Scraps for one of these.
HANDS DOWN for a 70+ i would say Dire Maul North...
Just inside the instance there are TONS of dogs that you can kill and skin.. and when done... exit and reset... viola you have a lot of rugged leather... i get about 2-3 stacks per clear... 10 min clear max... so in an hour that's 18 stacks or so....
AND since its your instance NO COMPETITION!
*Edit grammar and info below*
Also, another great thing is while you're there you can easily farm runecloth or green BoE's that have a good chance of disenchanting for Greater Eternals... Which usually sell rather well...
