The oozes seems to have just as much tar on them as the Zebras in the Barrens have hooves.

The droprate is horrible. Just keep killing oozes and you'll eventually get all the tar. It took me around 30 kills to get all 6.
The pools of tar that the Tar Oozes wander around in give you a buff called Tar Pit. It should be a debuff, because the tooltip says, "Increase Fire damage taken by 25%". The good thing is, the buff/debuff falls off quickly after you leave the pool of tar and take a few steps on clean ground.
