Are there any mobs like the ones in skettis for herbs but for mining? My warrior is able to solo the trees and get tons of herbs and motes of life, so was wondering if there was something like this for mining.

the giants can be minned, example the elite ones from hellfire peninsula

You can mine the earth elementals in Nagrand after you loot them.

Yes I know that, I'm saying are there any elite mobs that I can take out and then mine, similar to the trees in Skettis? The mobs in Hellfire just drop maybe a mote of earth and a piece of trash....
