It is definately tedious. The best experiences I've had so far have been with a Mage, Priest and myself (Hunter).
All of us were farming for rep, so we grouped up. As long as each person inflicts damage, it seems that we all got an increase in rep per kill.
I used my pet to heard up 7-8 Furbolg at a time and then we all AoE'd em pretty quick.
I agree that the WS ones are probably a better choice for drops, but the Deadwood ones next to the cave enterance in Felwood are more tightly group; therefore, easier to kill in group AoE.
