This quest has one of the most obnoxiously low drop rates in the entire zone, if not the most. I've levelled several characters through this zone for gear, and it was common to kill ten of the treants and not see a single piece of bark.
My theory is the quest is psychic because whenever I think 'I need to go check the droprates on wowhead again' two of the damn bark pieces drop in a row.
The only saving grace is that the treants respawn quickly, but don't bother trying this quest in any other area than Middenvale.
I've done this quest many times but never so fast as today. At coords of 36, 75 (in the Nazzivian area) there is a huge red crystal in the ground. It looks like a giant red pineapple. Surrounding it are four of the diseased treants. They respawn quickly. By the time you kill the four, four more appear. I got all six of the Crystallized Bark in about ten minutes. Normally it takes hours of wandering the map.

Description
Bloodmyst Isle was forever changed by our arrival. The Exodar's crash scattered debris all over the islands and I think it's beginning to have an adverse effect on the wildlife. Before I can be certain of my conclusion, I'll need to get a closer look. The crystals seem to have affected the trees the fastest, so it seems that the treants would be the most likely to show symptoms. If you bring me samples of bark from corrupted treants, I can begin my in-depth studies.
