I actually enjoy farming.
The best areas for farming are ones that have chests, give factional reputation, and offer repeatable quests. Perhaps my favorite is the pirate area of Tanaris. I can make 40g a night from doing pirates, and that is not counting green and purple drops. The tar lurkers and fire elementals of the crater are also good, but there are no chests to my knowledge in that area. Another area I like is that with the wind elementals in Sillithus. Though I have yet to discover what benefit comes from having faction with the Hydraxian Waterlords.
The Hearthglen area that Phoenix mentioned sounds good, but I don't know of any factional benefit in killing the crusaders.
Trade skills are another standard way to earn a living. A Phantom Blade goes for 50g, a Sniper Scope for 5-8.
Edit: I learned last night what benefit comes from having faction with the Hydraxians.
