When I was playing alliance I noticed that there was a place in Loch Modan and in the Wetlands where humanoids would spawn nearly instantaneously.
In Loch modan, they were pretty low level troggs, like 12 and dropped linen. I could get 100-120 linen in 30 minutes (about 1 gold worth when sold at the auction house). For an early-mid 20 character this was a lot of money.
In Wetlands they were closer to the low 20 range on levels, high enough that they would rarely drop silk, but mostly wool and linen. They were Gnolls in the somewhat north and somewhat eastern-ish area.
In both of these cases, there would ALWAYS be 2 of them up, such that if you kill the 2nd to last, one would INSTANTLY respawn. You could kill them ad nauseum and farm up cloth to sell at the AH or convert it into something else you can sell. Wool sells for over 50s a stack on most servers, as does silk.
Supposedly the heavy dynamite recipe is good for making money too (selling to vendors). But I don't have an engineer yet.
Edit: Investigating the Heavy Dynamite thing.
1 wool + 2 heavy stone (turned into heavy blasting powder) = 1-5 Heavy Dynamite
Heavy dynamite sells for 3 silver 50, and on average you generate 3 sticks per turn, so 10 silver 50c on average. So assuming you can get wool through the farming of gnolls, you need havy stone at less than about 5s per 2 stones and you end up with a nice profit just selling to vendors.
Maybe a couple could work on getting the wool, and a couple on getting heavy stones, then sell the smelted ore on the AH, as bars sell for decent amounts on the AH also.
