Where I do most of my skinning

Nagrand, one my favorite places in the World of Warcraft. Without a doubt Nagrand is one of the best places for high level skinners. The place is covered with all kinds of beasts. Truly a skinners dream come true. Some people are making upwards of 75 gold an hour by skinning like a mad man and completing the daily quests for Orgri'la and Sketties. There are three runs there that have produced a lot of gold for me. I've focused on skinning Nether Cobras and Clefthoof Bulls in this area and can now average 80 gold an hour. In one of my runs there is a treasure chest that produces blues and rarely an epic.

The Blade Edge Mountains are just as good a farming spot for skinners as Nagrand, if not better. One of the best things about wow gold farming at Blade Edge is the leather drop rate from beasts. It is surprisingly high compared to anywhere else in the Warcraft. The Lions at Blade Edge Mountains are known for having the highest drop rate of knothide leather. The Lions in this area are heavily farmed but you should still be able to make some gold. I can make about 65 gold an hour in this one triangular run I do there sometimes.

For skinners these two areas are probably the best in my opinion. They have the largest population of Beasts in the World of Warcraft. Bring a knife, some gloves, and an attitude and you can come up with some great wow gold farming techniques in these parts.
