Hey,
I've recently picked up enchanting and have been starting to farm instances for greens to DE. I've done four so far. I do this while waiting for BGs to pop. I'm a 60 druid in a decent set of blues (one feral epic).
My favorate is SFK. It's a quick trip from IF (I'm alliance), the trash mobs give tons of greens and its low enough level that I can whip right through it. Oh and there's always a chance for a shadowfang dagger or assassin's blade to drop.
I've tried the Wailing Caverns. It also dumps greens lie there is no tomorrow, but it's off in the barrens, so it's harder to get too.
I originally was going to do the stockades. I figured I'd queue up in SW, farm until a pop, get ganked for 20 minutes, continue farming the stockades. I found this instance to drop very few greens... especally since the named bosses don't drop them.
I figured I'd move from SFK to SM when my enchanting got up a bit. I found that SM also has the lack of green droppage problem. There are a couple of chests and the bosses do drop greens/blues.... but the trash hardly does. Money wise, I can make a bunch off of silk drops. I have only really tried the GY and Library. Is the Armory or Cath better for green drops from trash?
What does this leave me? I'd like an instance a short flight from an allinace capital city. If we're on the eastern kingdoms, this leaves dead mines. It's a possibility. A little low level at this point for enchanting mats.
How about Uldaman? Would it be too hard to solo? It's nto too far from IF.
The problem is there aren't too many instances on klamidor from Darn. There's BFD but isn't too close to any FP.
Most of the Klamidor instances are down near the barrens.
I guess I could just buy the enchanting mats... but I figured some farming could help defray the costs.
Gnomeregan is right outside IF, I've never tried farming it though, so I'm not sure about the droprates. Seemed to be a decent amount of greens everytime I was there in a normal party though.
Yeah in SM I've been just stealthing to the bosses (and chests). It's just that in SFK I get a quite a few greens by killing the trash. I had forgotten about gnomer... I never did it while leveling. I need the workshop key anyways... no self respecting key-o-holic like me can't be without his full key set.
I used to solo Herod with my hunter. I would use careful feign-deaths along the way to him, training trash mobs to a 'safe' spot and then feigning. In this way, I could get all the way to his room. Of course, I only did it for a laugh because nothing worthwhile dropped for me there.
For DE Greens, DM (or VC as its more recently called) grants you a ton of greens to work with, however they are, as you said, very low level.
The next place for greens for the next step of enchanting will likely not be on the same continent, until you get to SM+.
Stockades is horrible for gear/items I found, but easily solable and great coin/cloth.
Uldaman is possible to solo at parts, but I havent heard of anyone soloing the entire instance. Maybe just because theres so much trash to clear and lots of outlets when it comes to bosses.
Youre best bet is to clear SM for coin/cloth, and use the money to offset your mat buying cost...same effect in the end.
