You can make your own hyperspawn to farm this in the present day (damaged) tirisfal at /way 75.30. 26.80
Kill all murlocs in the area and the 1 in the water and the spawns will come as fast as you can kill them, happy hunting.
This drops again as of 10.1.7. I got it after 60-70 kills.
Was quite surprised to see this drop. A decent weapon for its level.
