About half an hour of killing Seabrush Terrapins around Korthun's End in Abyssal Depths earned me 19 Giant Turtle Tongues (and since I skinned all the corpses I also got 29 Savage Leather, 1 Deepsea Scale, 2 Volatile Earth, 2 Volatile Water and 1 Volatile Fire)

edit: The "mini Promontory Point" mentioned above is better. Half an hour of farming at the Seabrush area got me 25 Giant Turtle Tongues. The Terrapins seem to be much less spread out there.
(And skinning the corpses got me 43 Savage Leather, 4 Volatile Life, 2 Volatile Earth and one more Volatile Fire)

I did about 30 minutes in the seabrush area as described (~ 55, 41). It's pretty much a direct left turn from the Tenebrous Cavern (North of Korthun's End). 82 Troll druid skinner, here's what I got:

20 Giant Turtle Tongue
32 Savage leather
101 Savage leather scraps (= 20 savage leather)
7 Deepsea scale
2 Strange bloated stomach (= 3 volatile fire for me)
7 Murglesnout
3 Deepsea Sagefish
1 Fathom Eel
~20 g worth of vendor trash

I killed just about anything skinnable in the area, everything's pretty close together so I didn't even have to use mount/Aquatic form.

I killed 33 Пятнистая морская черепаха in Kelp'thar Forest (the area between Smuggle's Scar and Gurboggle's Ledge, very high turtle density, just beware of the giant that roams the area) and got 20 Язык гигантской черепахи, so I guess you could say the drop ratio is even higher than 50%. I didn't check the clock, but I'm pretty sure I spent way less than 30 minutes to get 20 tongues.

Very fast way to raise your cooking to 500 (as I did) imvho.

Kelp'thar Forest seems like the best place for me aswell. Also make sure to kill the Giant once if you can, as he drops a quest starter item.

Definitely recommend farming this from the Seabrush Terrapins. There are lots of them, the droprate is definitely still right around 50%, they move around singly and in fairly open water rather than in groups that aggro together or swimming in heavy kelp. If you stick to the side of Seabrush that has humanoids of your own faction, you can also avoid extra hostile mobs that get in the way. There is also a quest to kill some of these so you will get a head start on farming to complete a quest, albeit at the end of Seabrush where the humanoids are of the opposing faction. Lots of other skinnable mobs around as well (hammerheads, remora) if you want to maximize leather output.

Seeing that the comments regarding the Seabrush Terrapin, which also drops Giant Turtle Tongue, stated that it had a lousy drop rate I decided to conduct a basic experiment.

I went to all three areas where each turtle species are and hunted 10 individuals from each kind. This is what I found:

1. The Seabrush Terrapin dropped 2 Giant Turtle Tongues out of 10 Kills. There were not that many in the area.
2. The Speckled Sea Turtle dropped 6 Giant Turtle Tongues out of 10 Kills. The area that these are found in are
quite plentiful.
3. The Softshell Sea Turtle dropped 5 Giant Turtle Tongues out of 10 kills. As in the first case, there were not
that many of them but are in a wider area with a lot of hanging kelp beds. You have to swim around a bit to
find them. The surprising thing is that there was a group of 3 in a unit that swam past me. You hit one
and the other two will attack. Don't know if this grouping was intentional or a fluke.

This, along with the other comments regarding drop rates mentioned by other players, I conclude that Wowhead's figures on the drop rates of the Giant Turtle Tongues are inaccurate. If you want to grind for recipe ingredients for this item your best bet is to go for the Speckled Sea Turtle. The Seabrush Terrapin does indeed have a lousy drop rate, and if you are intending to farm for the tongues, I would avoid this species altogether and go for the Speckled Sea Turtle, there are beaucoups of them.

I am reposting this in the other threads for cross-referencing.
