Close but not quite. Yes, farm the level 14-17 pirates just south of Ratchet. They give 1 point of rep toward Ratchet and 1/2 spillover point of rep for the other goblin factions. They are plentiful (don't forget the camps up the hill) and die in one hit to most level 60's. I cast rank 5 SW:Pain's on each pirate as I run through each camp. Tab-pain-tab-pain-tab-pain and leave a trail of death behind me.
You can do the Ferales quests any time no matter what your faction level is. However, the faction gain speed is incredibly slow. You only get 25 rep per quest turn-in and you have to kill high level 40 mobs and loot them to get the quest items. It's *far* faster, on the order of four or five times faster, to kill the pirates south of Ratchet for rep.
Other options include killing wastewanders and pirates in Tanaris or Venture Co operatives or pirates in STV.
I take it that you're a Bloodsail Buccaneer, too? Yarrr!
