The shadowshard fragments drop off the stone elementals outside of the purple instance entrance of mauradon. Drop rate is about 1 shard every 2 kills. Easily done without a group if you're level 47+.

FYI, as of patch 2.3 the mobs aren't elite anymore. Should be a piece of cake to solo if you are appropriately levelled.

I just did this on one of my newer characters and got 500 rep, not 350. Quite a nice surprise, since I'm on the last 5k to exalted with Darkspear.

soloed it outside the purple entrance with feral druid. drop rate was 100%, only thing to take care is not to get kicked off edges and aggro other creeps. got 7200 xp and 500 repu with trolls.

Mauradon is southwest edge of desolace in the Valley of the Spears Coords 29.5/62.5 solo'd the gem part easily at level 44, the beasts are mostly 40/41, just watch yourself rounding the corners. I got a drop of a gem everytime.

Not sure if the drop rate has changed or whether i was extremely lucky, but i killed 10 of these guys and got 1 each time and even though it is listed as a dungeon quest for Mauradon it is not inside the instance but outside of the purple side zone in. To get to the mobs go through the stone doors follow down the path until it splits left and right. You should be able to tell the orange and purple glows from the right and left path(respectively) go down the left(purple) path and keep following the purple crystals. You should see the instance portal, walk just past it and you will see the elementals needed for the fragments. One of the last couple of quests i needed to do for Loremaster of Kalimdor. Hope this has helped.
