I picked up two Lustrous Scaled Hides in about 5 minutes of farming Tundra Vorkuin (one from drops, one from skinning) in the Azure Span just east of Rhonin's Shield (Upper Frostlands).

Description
Scales have a multitude of purposes--they offer protection, but in some cases, they also offer a keen reflective surface. Many of our finest mirrors are in fact scales. Those mirrors also happen to be in high demand. Gather some scaled hides for me, and I'll share some of my crafting secrets.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
