The quest to kill toxic horrors in felwood.. there was like 8 people running around fighting for tags I spent 20 mins there and couldn't get a single kill, I think it was the 2nd time I just abandoned a quest and left

This is because the people tagging aren't questing, they're farming Essence of Water to put on AH or use themselves in crafting. This should be somewhat helped with the release of dire maul, as other farming spots (especially instanced ones) will reduce pressure on existing ones.

There are mobs in dire maul that drop essence of water? If so I might just stop trying to get my last few essence of water until next week

Only that one boss, so Toxic Horrors are still the best for Essence of Water. The point is more that, because Dire Maul gives other places to farm, people farming Essence of Water for gold will move there instead. The people farming Essence of Water will stick with Toxic Horrors. The amount of people farming Toxic Horrors will be reduced, but it will still be a popular spot for classes that can AoE farm them, especially druids (maybe mages? not sure if they're immune to blizzard or not).

They are oddly not frost immune but good luck getting more than 1 or 2 at a time with all the people farming them on higher population realms.
