TheWoWDBAnother spot I've found is at the north-east of Azsuna, along the river separating the zone from Suramar. You can kill and skin Leyscar Scuttler on the beach and in the river.
Or you can get the Horned Leatherbacks just north of Illidari Stand.

A World of Warcraft quest in Dalaran. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.

A good area to get these is the bonus objective zone in Stormheim 'Cull the Squallhunters'. Not only do you get XP from killing the storm dragons and completing the bonus objective (& class hall resources), but you'll get most of, if not all, Stormscale Sparks. You're able to skin the juvenile and adult squallhunters, but not the baby squallhunters.
I found a nice place for farming the quest item aswell as Stormscales. 61,37 in Stormheim, near Tideskorn Harbor. There are plenty of Crimson Rockshells. These are natural crabs and easy to farm them.

Description
Ahh, yes. The elusive stormscale. I have seen similar scales in Northrend, and some in Skywall, but it would appear that such a scale is common here. My colleagues that specialize in mail armor will be happy to learn this. To more efficiently harvest this type of scale, you must first understand its power. Look for broken, unusable scales on your quarry, and remove the sparks within them. Once you have seen the sparks, you will better understand the stormscale.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stormscale Sample
This scale shimmers with electrical energy. Your skinning trainer in Dalaran would be interested in seeing this.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unfinished Treatise on the Properties of Stormscale
Tucked between the folds of this animal's hide, you find a scrap of paper. It appears to be a handwritten guide to harvesting stormscales, but too much of the manuscript has been lost to be of use. Perhaps your skinning trainer in Dalaran could help you find its owner.
