1) Travel to Terokkar Forest
2) Go to 22.10 and look for a subzone. (The Barrier Hills)
3) Use your flying mount to get there.
4) You will easily find 3-4 mana thistles w/ a fast respawn.

If that doesn't work and you need gold quick, I recommend The MMORPG Exchange WoW Gold. They deliver quickly and are cheap! I usually receive my gold within 20 minutes. They're my secret weapon, I highly recommend them!
