Why would I want to go to Bloodmyst Isle as Horde?
[*=left]Small Venom Sacs for Anti-Venom (explained in more detail below).
[*=left]Moth or ravager pet for hunters.
[*=left]Killing Blood Elves for Silvermoon Robes for Transmogrification. Or just because you like killing Blood Elves.
[*=left]Exploration achievements for the Draenei (or en route: the Night Elf) zones.
[*=left]Etc.
I like being able to use Anti-Venom.
Small Venom Sac drop rates according to wowhead:
(Alliance / Horde territory)
9% - Myst Spinner - level 16-17 - Bloodmyst Isle
9% - Myst Leecher - level 17-18 - Bloodmyst Isle
6% - Forest Lurker - level 11-12 - Loch Modan
0.16% - Vicious Night Web Spider - level 9-10 Tirisfal Glades
And the percentages only get smaller further down the list. I refuse to accept that I should have to farm in Horde territory with those drop rates.
I tried Loch Modan first, with negligible success, and have moved on to Bloodmyst Isle.
I am very satisfied with the results and thought I might share for any Horde who hasn't found their way to Bloodmyst yet. All you intrepid explorers, Lunar Festival junkies and BB Kings will already know this, of course.

How to get to Bloodmyst as Horde without P2P help
Example route, see comments for the Stormwind alternative, which I believe takes longer.
Fly to Zoram'gar Outpost in Ashenvale, ride north through Darkshore. Sticking to the road is fine, except for around Auberdine; there are some Sentinels there that will one-shot you.
The challenge is to get through deep water to Rut'theran Village where the boat to Azuremyst Isle leaves. This was easy with the water-jumping bug, but is a bit more complicated now.
I'd be interested to hear how non-healing classes manage! I've only done this on my pally without a swim speed buff, so others might have it easy if using the Hook, Sea Turtle, or one of the other buffs described here:
⇛ Getting the most out of your F2P character. by Haliaeetus
Start from the shallow water closest to Rut'theran. I aimed a bit too far to the right.
Usually no death necessary for a healer. Next Spirit Healer is outside Lor'danel.
If you don't time it right you might have to corpse run twice.
Sentinels on the boat will ignore you.
Abandon ship and reach Azuremyst Isle.
Bring empty bags! Those spiders also drop quite a few greens for disenchanting.
Just for fun: Spirit Healer if you die in Rut'theran Village is here, if you die in Darnassus you land in Dolanaar.
