Like most of the Heroic tier content, the Primordial Aberration is very overtuned. Recommend bringing help unless you're a tank.

It did not drop any for me. Stuck on 7/10 with no more around. So doesn't look like they are guaranteed. Edit - Killed it again and it dropped a lot around the cave. Dear knows why it didn't drop any the first time.
