Hello everyone!
I've been doing some farming for this companion, and I wanted to share a faster way of doing it, since it already takes a lot time.
1) Location
So, the place at Wetlands is well - known, where a some sort of battle is going on. Check the map here:

2) Explanation:
We basically have groups of mobs A, B and C. What we want to do is instantly spawn group A -which is the biggest one - and benefit the most we can from group B .
Group A consists of 5 mobs: (2 dragons and 3 "warriors") and Group B of 2 "warriors" and 1 dragon.
Here is a picture:

Group C can take some shots from time to time, but seems like being a bit far for this method and aoe looting.
3) How do we do it
So at this spot, there is a collapsed fence.
By moving back and forth next to it (from spot E to spot D) while you face group A, the movement triggers the mobs to spawn instantly
Here is a picture showing what you have to do:

While moving back and forth spawning the group A, you can aoe/taunt/trap/else the Group B or even hit group C.
4) Closure
Normally it takes a lot more time to spawn group A, and I've found this way to be the more efficient for getting the companion, at least for this location!
The addon Bunnyhunter will tell you how many mobs you've killed and gives you a % chance for it to drop.

I've already looted Tiny Crimson Whelping 5 times using this method. Each took about 3-4k loots.
The mobs drop a lot of Wool Cloth, greenies and recipes, and if you are a skinner like me, well, it's a golden party!So it's not a waste of time if the companion doesn't drop fast.
They also drop a lot of grey stuff, so I use a macro I found on ownedcore to delete them - one by one. Here is the macro which I think you will need, unless you have a vendor mount, jeeves or something similar.
Delete Greys Macro:
-I am really sorry, can't remember who posted this to give him credit, it is NOT my macro. I thank him though./script for bag = 0,4,1 do for slot = 1, GetContainerNumSlots(bag), 1 do local name = GetContainerItemLink(bag,slot); if name and string.find(name,"ff9d9d9d") then PickupContainerItem(bag,slot)return DeleteCursorItem()end end end
Well, that's it!
Hope this helped those interested, and I hope to contribute more in the future! Cheers!
