I've spent about 2h in total, looking for a good spot to farm these volatiles. As far as I can tell there's not really a "the best spot".
I first went to Uldum and fished from the pools along the coast and river, in 40 minutes I had 10 volatile.
After that I headed over to Twilight Highlands to try farming the elementals (I hate farming from killing). I spent about 10 minutes there because it was boring... And it rendered me 1 volatile.
I then headed up river to try and fish from the Highland Guppy pools. In 1h and 10min I had collected around 30 volatile water and the pools are quite fast on respawn. So that's where I'll be farming them. Flying up the river, around the Loch and then down the river and fishing from all the pools.
I should say though that I could go through a lot of pools without a single volatile, but then you could get like 2-3 volatiles from the next one. So it's not like you get 1 per pool, it's more like 1 every 4th or so.
Hope this helps someone looking for a nice spot to fish volatiles.
I love how the water hooks to the fishing hook
:)
Edit: I think they have changed the Icon
A great place to farm these from are the Muddied Water Elementals in the Twilight Highlands (Verrall Delta).
Using a prot pally and pulling 3-4 mobs at a time, I was able to farm 30 of them in 45 minutes.
Something to keep in mind with this method is that the drop rate seems to vary greatly. 1 minute I was having 2 drop off every mob, and then 10 minutes would pass without seeing a single one.
Hope this is a useful alternative to fishing.
