I found that just east (67, 32) of Garadar has a great, secluded cluster of them that will allow you to burn through them quickly.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
