I'll be cleaning up the Farmable Upgrades section to make it look pretty and include relevant notes like the mob, respawn times, and unique things like how to reach bloodmyst as horde.
But the answer is that you need to take the portal from Teldrassil, located on the west dock. To get there, you need to cross the water from darkshore to teldrassil. You can get there solo without dying to fatigue by using a Riding Turtle or Sea Turtle mount (and maybe druid travel form). Other classes will probably die to fatigue, but should be able to get back to your body as a ghost walking on water and then finish the trip. Easiest is for another player to give you a ride or provide water walking.
Do you have a screenshot or armory link? I've only gotten green/blue ones to drop, so I'm using wowhead's numbers (which match the green/blue versions) for epic.

Versatility on a blue Riverpaw Mystic Staff (10) is lower than that of a blue Foamspittle (13). I think that confirms that an epic Riverpaw Mystic Staff would be worse than an epic Foamspittle, although I might be wrong.

Btw full plate is a relevant option now for holy paladins if you get the right stuff to proc from quests. 50% physical armor is hard to ignore and even harder to burst as a rogue or warr. Depends on team comp to be completely viable though.
A little change for WW - they can't use daggers, so their OH weapon will be the same as the MH one.
They can also 100% use a 2h weap instead of dual wielding since FoF is the only hard 1h weapon requirement. Prob not worth listing though since a second enchant will outweigh any benefit of that most of the time.

I think that will mean that Shadowfang/Bronze shortsword is still BiS offhand then for WW. And definitely don't want to give up the double ele force...though a 2h would mean a +10 agi enchant...
Now that 8.1.5 has had some time to settle, I've started to put together a list of farmable epics. If you have any other BoE Epics or know of anyone who does, please screenshot or link your armory. The Unknown section includes many things that in theory upgrade, but may not drop in game anymore.
This is only for BoE epics that are farmable. In theory, BoP epics that are farmable would be accepted as well...I just don't know of any.
I'd highly recommend addons like NPCScan to help identify rares. It might also help to create a targeting macro that can be spammed to find a certain mob. Feel free to macro in a spammable move like Moonfire as well. The base targeting macro is:
Drops from: https://www.wowhead.com/npc=453
Shares spawns with: Riverpaw Taskmasters
Item use: While not quite as good as foamspittle, the epic riverpaw mystic staff is still better than most other options. It isn't any easier to farm - so probably stick with foamspittle.
Tips:
Mobs are more spread out than foamspittle, but the spot is less popular, so you'll have less competition
This is NOT as good as foamspittle (less verse) - so even less competition
Group up to share tags for low HP mobs
For Horde - take the zeppelin from Org to GromGar and head north up the coast and then west towards the riverpaw camps

Item use: BiS farmable mainhand for rogues/WW monks. Several other options exist from quests with possibly better stats - so exhaust your quest possibilities first.

Alliance only - these mobs are in a specific phase
"Complete the quest series in Westfall up to and including Rise of the Brotherhood. After you turn in to King Wrynn in Stormwind, return to Westfall. The sky will be red and Defias Knuckledusters will be among the mobs attacking Sentinel Hill. They have an essentially instant respawn rate. Just farm away until the mace drops." - From Celano in the wowhead comments
Drops from: https://www.wowhead.com/npc=2453
Approx spawn rate: 1.5-2 hours
Item use: BiS 2H str weapon. Comparable to several quest upgrade options. Warriors and Ret pallies get farming.
Tips:

Group up to for better chance of finding her and ensuring everyone gets a tag
Horde - Swim (or get a ride) from Darkshore to Teldrassil. A swimming mount (Sea Turtle/Riding Turtle), druid aquative form, or water walking may be required to survive - otherwise you'll need to run back as a ghost after dying to fatigue. Take the portal on the dock on the west to get to Azuremyst isle, then head north (don't get too close to the Exodar)
Drops from: https://www.wowhead.com/npc=626
Approx spawn rate: 5-8 minutes
Item use: Glass cannon option for leather agility gloves. It can be enchanted with glove reinforcement, but that negates going glass cannon. Casters will generally prefer the full fang/slitherscale set.
Tips:

Horde - Go to Grom'Gol by zeppelin and then head north up the shoreline into westfall.
Both factions - see this wowhead comment here for instructions on how to reach Foreman in the tunnels.

Can spawn at a few of the various camps. 26.85, 89.72 is a good spot to see the camps.
This is a low level quest area, so random people will be clearing the camps fairly often

Does NOT upgrade
Currently dungeon items do NOT upgrade. Some items seem to be classified as dungeon drops - and so they won't upgrade. We're not always sure why - but we haven't seen ANY epic versions, but it would be expected by now. Further confirmation comes from looking items on http://us.battle.net/wow/en/item/1927 - as it will say if it can be Rare/Epic.
So apparently this does still drop, but only rarely by a mob that only exists during a very specific phased [art of a quest in redridge, where only alliance can do it.
I have a twink thats pretty much at this point and I am kind of interested to kill it for a bit to test it out, is there any solid reason for why i am retarded for doing this?

I don't think that can still drop. I don't think any of the redridge single source BoEs still drop. For the axe, theres only 1 currently on the AH and it isn't scaled at all. Do you have a screenshot or armory with someone who has it?
That being said, feel free to try and farm it to know if it exists. If you can even get one to drop, then its more proof than we have right now. If you don't get a drop after a decent number of kills, then you know it either doesn't exist, or would take forever to get an epic given you need 20+ drops on average to get an epic.
Many of the questionable items were removed with Cata's revamp. While a few have been brought back (whether through the new scaling patches or salvage crates from WoD), most of them remain out of game.
